That gets me more excited for the project, and I’m hoping that I can get my deposit in soon.Hi, sorry but we don't want help the competitors
Let's go! Day by day, step by step...... We are arriving at the first "reduction price"
900 grams is just over 2lbs.... will the resin be fragile .... not saying I’m gonna be playing American football with it. A gallon of water weighs in a 8.35 lbs approx...so a 1/4 of that ... which sounds like a US. quart of resin will be the final product weight .. is this right? I’m not questioning your process, I too am a mold maker and familiar with resins and such. I’m just curious as to your thoughts.Hi, sorry but we don't want help the competitors
Hello Bloodmike1, your questions are really appreciated, especially to clarify that the weight is not proportional to the resistance of an object. The first thing you have to consider is that the skull is like an oblong egg. What does it mean? Probably all of us know that an egg has got a really thin thickness but has a great resistance to the two poles, so the skull, just for its structure, will be impact resistant itself. However I approximately said 900gr. probably will be a little more. But the really reply is that we will use a new type of plastic resin that will need to be heated to 90 degrees to solidify. This type of resin is not the epoxy you probably use for your props. I am what in Italy is called: " industrial prototypist ". To explane what I do I can say this: a firm that produce sun glasses asked me to make some prototypes to show them in a lot of traid fairs. I make things that people can try, rate and then the firms will decide if mass produce them. The important things is that my prototypes can't be fragile.
Hope this help.
Hope this help.
I appreciate the reply, I'm always curious what materials other artists are working with. A heat cure resin will certainly be strong, I thank you for the clarification. The expertise in your field will certainly shine through with this piece, and your knowledge in IP (industrial Prototyping) is light years ahead of your average prop builder like myself.

How long until we see a finished clear first pull?
I hope very soon, we are working more fast is possible but in my experience, to make good things, is better spend more time to obtain a great result.
Thanks
Thanks
