Here you go - - - Updated - - - I want it to be relatively thick tho, around 3mm, this is prolly 0.5mm in the picture and i want it to be opaque. I've searched high and low for how to cast latex rubber fabric that's 3mm thick or so, but i cannot find any information for doing it on a small scale

Hey guys, So i'm working on a project where i'm trying to make a colour shifting chest harness type thing. I want to make it out of thick pvc, say 3mm thick. You can't buy dichroic film that thick so i'll need to stick it to the pvc i think. How do i go about doing that do you think? Is there...

It's not something i want to mould like a lightning bolt, i want to make a sheet of rubber "fabric" that has swirls in it. I've seen it elsewhere but it's super expensive.

Hey guys, So i'm trying to find a way to make my own latex rubber sheets. I know you can buy some plain and patterned latex rubber of various thicknesses, but in order to make a kind of chest harness with pretty thick latex rubber, with a funky swirly pattern built into it i think i'm gonna...

Hey guys, So i wanna have a go at sculpting a superhero cowl but i've little knowledge on how to do this, can anyone recommend any good reference resources for the basics? Many thanks, Andrew

Hey guys, So i read on matt munsons blog that you should add talk to the silicone mould to get the best results due to capilliary action, but do you need mould release spray and if so do you use it before or after using talc? Many thanks, Andrew

Hey guys, so I'm gonna be making a silicone mould soon, but I have a wooden thing to make it from. Now I want it über smooth so on bogs I've read I need to prime it and sand it with increasing grits. I just don't understand the theory of why you get "burn through" can anyone explain to me? Is...

Oh thank god for replies, had so little luck elsewhere! I've been looking on ebay you see but i'm not "up" on the types that there are. So 45D is a good one? Is smooth cast a brand name? I'm not sure we can get smoothcast over here, is the 45D a reflection of the density or fluidity? There is...

Hey guys, so I'm trying to make a mr incredible chest emblem a la superman returns and a belt to go with it. I've been told standard polyurethane isn't flexible enough for a belt but polyurethane rubber would be. Now, here's the problem, before I buy some, does it dry clear? If so, how do I go...

I meant tinting the urethane as presumably silicone will be used to make th negative mould yes?

Hey guys, I'm wanting to make a superman returns style cheat emblem. I've made it in clay/bondo but do I have to make a silicone mould of this then use it to pour in urethane? Can anyone advise on making this opaque and coloured like the superman returns chest piece? Many thanks guys, Andrew...

Hey guys, So i've been invited to a fancy dress party and inspired by the amazing matt munsons work on his superman belt and chest piece i wanted to have a go at making the incredibles costume in a similar way. Now i'm going to mould the chest piece and belt in bondo (uk version) but i'm not...

Hey guys, does anyone have a link to the documentary where it was shown how the iron man hands were put together or is there a thread that shows the mechanism on here? Thanks guys, Andrew

Hey guys, was looking for iron man helmets and found a toy one with really shiny paintword, human sized and i was wondering if anyone has done good projects with these i.e. making them look like movie helmets and incorporating them into pep suits?

I'm new to the world of iron man costuming, was this a premade helmet sent to you? Does the guy you got it from have any more do you know or was it made via pep?
