Hello! I'd like to share with you my first replica prop, a space marine bolt pistol from Warhammer 40000. Any feedback is welcome!

It's made from mostly MDF, styrene, and small nick-nacks i found around my place for knobs and such using a lot of methods i found on various prop blogs (and of course, here). I'm pleased with my first results and I would love to mold it. I've done exhausting amounts of research on silicone molding and I want to do either a two part block mold or a brush-on with a shell. It seems like it would take an incredibly expensive amount of silicone though. Does anyone know if the trial size (or two) of Smooth-On's Rebound 25 would be enough for this oversized "pistol"?
 
I'm not a mold expert just yet... Can't really help you there... But GREAT job on the Pistol. Very clean lines! :)
 
Don't think trial size or two will do, I moulded my carnifex pistol and used best part of 4 kilo of silicone for a two part mould, smooth ons is not readily available for me being in uk, but I use condensation cure silicone and was around £100 for 5kgs of the stuff.
Hope this helps.

Im new myself to the build scene and was abit rushed ( 3 days ) to get a sister of battle built for a friend of mine who wore it at supernova in Brisbane recently.
