Haha yeah i know, I wish it was that simple in real life! :)

Nice mold! Can't wait til I get to do that to my endoskull! Do you use any release agent before you apply the silicone?

Your endoskull is awesome! Yes most definately use a release agent. Never can be too safe. I use smoothon's mold release 200. Hurry up and mold that bad boy!

Thanks Dan20lancer!

Well I continued to add rebound 25 to the sculpts tonight. This project is beginning to really show its expensive side.

The head took about 1/3 of a gallon of rebound 25. The upper legs I'm guessing will take a lil more than 2/3 of a gallon.

Finished.

Go for it! I have added some length to some pieces to allow it to fit a taller person. It can easily be trimmed for shorter.

Ready for molding

Started molding but added length once again! Waist should come up much higher now to ensure proper coverage

With the added length to the pieces I can go back to molding the rest. Will also be building a rotational caster soon to expedite the process and ensure even coverage!

Lots of work to go! Later RPF

Interesting mold method! What material will you be casting into the mold?
Click to expand...

The upper legs was very unorthodox to say the least! But after I started molding it, I felt uncertain about the length so I cut back the mold to add more clay to the sculpture.

Casting material is a platinum silicon, dragon skin from smoothon. May add a foam backing, not sure yet.
The arms have been casted and can be seen earlier in the thread!

Holy crap, this is awesome! I´d love to have one of those!
might try one after finishing my TDK cowl molding progress.

So you're casting silicone into silicone? Isn't that tricky?

This project is my first ever with molding. So if this was the incorrect method, its probably to late to turn back. But the method has been successful! The casts have nice detail and almost no seam. I just make sure to coat the mold generously with mold release.

Thanks Bane! Look forward to seeing your TDK cowl!
 
Ah, I wasn't trying to correct you - really wondering! I'd actually like to hear more about your process and materials. I have to do the same thing soon myself!
