Hi guys i am in the process of mapping out my cardboard prototype of a samurai suit i am making and i want some advice.
This is the individual piece:
This is a shoulder guard mocked up.
And this is the detail i want on each piece. (excuse MS paint lol)
My original thought was to use pvc foamboard and carve the pieces individually, but then i wondered would casting be a better option.
So my questions are, how would i cast these? what type of mould?how durable would the pieces be (don't want them to crack) and how will the holes turn out with casting etc. i have never casted anything before and would like a cheapish way to so. And i need about 100+ of these.
So any advice is welcome guys and gals.
Thanks Chris
