    I have no idea how to make a master mold

    It helps everyone to understand the problem better if you post a picture of what you want to mold. There is NO “one size fits all” with mold making. How can a forum provide any answer to a random question without knowing what materials were used in the model? What is the intended casts? What...

    Silicone mold options

    Hmmm? The question is “Do I switch $$materials if I only want 1cast?” Answer: No, I find a material I like, and I stay with it. I will alter my molding technique to reduce cost. Example: 1. Adding old rubber to the mix 2. Reducing thickness of the mold walls. (Not to be done by...

    Things you've always wondered about in sci-fi movies

    Back to my super hero analysis…and I am sober this time: Recently, in the new Spider-Man, No Way Home, Andrew Garfield’s Spidey proves to MJ that he is spiderman by jumping up to the ceiling and suspending himself by 4 fingers. Let’s be honest, anyone who has gone into their crawl space, (no...

    Will Smith decks Chris Rock at the Academy Awards

    late to the party, and the assault has already been covered, BUT: My deep respect to Chris Rock for the way that he handled it, AND the way he WILL handle it! He is playing the long game, and you can expect a 2-hr HBO special of his take on the Smiths, ALL of them. If you caught the quick...

    Things you've always wondered about in sci-fi movies

    Every future city is perfect and shiny. Every building is brand new and in the same style as every other building. Was the whole city built at once? Aren’t any buildings older? Under repair? Every city that I have seen has tower cranes building and repairing structures. Does Superman have...

    Not costume related but hope you can help

    I agree with above, but want more info on "fire damaged." What is fire damaged for a plaster hand? A picture would help. Is it charred? Cracked? intact, but want a 2nd copy for husband? If everything is intact, and no repairs are needed, the advice above will do. If repairs are...

    3D printing a 1:1 Terminator T-800 endoskeleton

    With some advice from RogueSkynet, I was able to hook up some LEDs to a remote switch and put a sparkle in Termie’s eye. He just didn’t look right without a healthy glow, and so I wanted to post.

    First time molding help!

    the you may not want to lie it down for the separating flange. It would be better to leave it standing in place, and build the flange around the sculpt. Start by cutting a head shape into a solid piece of Masonite that fits near the profile of the sculpt, and add clay to it for the separating...

    First time molding help!

    How you mold it depends on what you want the final product to be. The rule of thumb is flexible cast/ rigid mold, and rigid cast/flexible mold. You say a "Mask" sculpt? Would I be correct in guessing that you will cast latex into this mold? That is a 'flexible' material, so a rigid mold...

    Solid Metal Terminator Pewter T-800 Bust Replica Prop (WIP)

    Excellent work on the bust. Could you show how you set up the rechargeable lithium ion battery and remote please? I just set up a 3D printed endo, and I would like to install red LEDs for the eyes without taking the head apart to change batteries. Having a remote is a great idea.
