TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt *SHREDDER*

Did you say yet what the mother mold material is? Are you having any trouble with the silicones? Are you using a mold release?

Those arm pulls look great - and the molds look tight and clean, too. Great first mold making effort! Any pics of a head pull?

Thanks!

Mother Mold is Rebound 25 from Smooth-on. Not any problems since learning not to use LATEX GLOVES!!! hahaa and yes using a mold release!

No other pulls yet! Plan on building a rotational caster to get good coverage on every piece!


UPDATE:

Silicone applied to all pieces. Just need to add the support shell to each! YEAH!

Sorry for the long wait for an update, these steps take a long time!
Later RPF
 
Ah, "mother mold" actually refers to what you call the "support shell." What material is that?

What happens with the latex gloves and the Rebound?

Looking forward to seeing some pulls! Very cool.

Umm actually your correct.

The mold is Rebound 25
The Mother Mold (my term support shell) is plastipaste a fiber resin.

I will be adding the mother mold to the rest of the pieces next. Then put together the rotocaster and then pulls should come out quickly!

And the latex gloves? Latex inhibits the curing of silicone! Even just toughing it with the gloves caused problems.

A pen for the detailing - wonderful!

I've wanted to build this since 6th grade, overall... how's it feel?

In the early stages yes but later changed to a texture stamp (much better). Not sure what you mean by "how's it feel". But this is a fun project!

That's A LOT of silicone!

Thats no joke! I think 5 gallons, rediculous!


QUESTION

The only piece left is the shell (front and back). I would like to use WED CLAY because it is supposibly quicker to work with and is much cheaper!

*****Does WED CLAY contain any SULPHER????******

Will be molding in silicone, so it can't contain any sulpher.
 
Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (SILICONE)

pretty much. other than the torso, all i need is a few small bits to finish it off, like the crotch section, the feet, the hands, the shell... you know, the small stuff. :)

but I figured if I hit you up for one piece at a time it may be easier :thumbsup

i do have a mask and potentially a set of hands on the way. i also have some black roped nunchucks like mikey uses (I'm actually a badass with some chucks... thats the reason i went with Mikey).

also, i bought some of the black "ghostbuster" volleyball elbow pads on ebay (2 pair) in which I'm going to have recovered in distressed leather. it'll look pretty close to the Don Spina pads... not 100% movie accurate, but better looking than most pads I've seen, hopefully.
