BEAUTIFUL!

Hi, trying to sift through all of this. WED clay has always been my clay of choice, but not plaster for molding. It's good to begin with and the best choice for creating latex masks, but not beyond that. Sounds like you have some lock ups, as suggested by others. But, even without lock ups...

Hello, I have to agree that the Stan Winston videos are a good route to go. Try to wait for them to go on sale though... Now, depending on what your mask is supposed to be, it doesn't have to be silicone. I have made many nice fitting latex masks that are considerably cheaper and allows for much...

This is great! The texture is amazing.

This is amazing. I would love to see this in foam latex.

So, the translucent green resin came in and I printed 2 tests tonight. Unfortunately it's pretty dark in the center. It takes a considerably bright light to illuminate it. I'm concerned the single led will not be bright enough. Still have to work on the final tube. I'm tempted to fill it with...

I wanted to add some texture to the tube part. I wish I could crack it and maintain it's integrity. But since I am not sure how to go about that I thought I'd try a technique that I've been meaning to test out for a long time now. If you put superglue on plastic and hit it with a small spray of...

Thanks, I hope it all comes together.

I found some tubes that fit perfectly. They are from a kids test tube science kit thing, nice durable plastic. I can't recall what I used to remove the measurements from the inside of the tube. It was probably Naptha before it got banned in Ca. I believe the hardest part will be the little...

Ha!!! Thanks! Appreciate that.

I've been working on the display, which is also just temporarily installed. I don't like that it's just bare and vulnerable. I was initially hoping to apply a red film over the display. However, this proved annoying to do if not impossible with the effort I wanted to apply to it. I tried using...

I continued to add damage and distress to the paint job. I am considering adding some brilliant color later on, maybe some sort of vibrant alien blood spatter...idk I attached the knob temporarily and scratched that up a bit too. The handle is my least favorite part of this prop so I decided to...

Thanks!

I believe you have some good suggestions as to why this is happening. What is the size of this part and how big are these "micro" batches. I've done more complex single molds. It's also a matter of prep working knowing where to pour the resin in and where to cut a seam line. I just wouldn't...

Hi. You seem to have a good deal of great advice already. But I do have a lot of trial and error experience. I have to agree that Smooth on has some damn good products. However, I see that they don't sell some of their own products via their site anymore. Idk why. I'm lazy when it comes to...
