You never know what you will learn until you search something that interests you. I am looking into custom making props. However I can't find a lot of information in regards to casting materials.
I want to make a prop replica, but to sculpt it in soft materials, then cast in a harder one is where I get stuck. Are resins a good alternative to metal casting?
I've thought about metal casting, but it hard to find tutorials in small sizes instead of large sizes. and then there is how to make molds.
Any suggestions would be great. I've seen casting kits at hobby lobby, but they are not really for what I want to cast which is things like ...a belt buckle.
and yes, I'm a N00B. Your patience is appreciated. If this shouldn't be posted here, please let me know.
