Sculpting Two Bios

[PredatrHuntr]

Here's the process so far:

Casting the little bio bits:

Trimming off the excess:

Hardened resin:

Castings:

Having a drink before I start pouring resin:

My sad face since the respirator and beer don't mix:

1st layer of resin:

2nd layer:

3rd layer:

4th layer:

Waiting for it to fully cure so I can see how it turned out...it's like waiting for Christmas morning while your parents are asleep and you want so badly to go in and wake them up by jumping on the bed!!!

Stay tuned for more...

I almost always end up pulling the first cast out while it's still warm, just because I can't possibly wait. In my head, Arnie is standing there shouting "DO EET! DO EET NAOW!"

Really excited to see how this comes out bro.

 

[REYALS1]

Very nice man. Just curious but what do you think the bio will weigh when you're done? Looks nice and sturdy.

Cookies and cream predator parts... mmmmmm.

Can't wait to see the first cast Jason!

Sweet Santa's nut sack Jason! That my friend is a great looking mold. The cast is sure to come out perfect! You did an amazing job on it.

Plasti paste looks like mashed potatoes mixed with brown gravy.

Oh, and two other things: First, it's a real pleasure to be listed as one of the people who have spurred you on to do this, I'm glad I helped.

Second, it's pretty easy to see who's been telling you how to cast.

I tried using black silc pig in the resin, but it just turned it grey and left black streaks all throughout the resin haha! Nothing wrong with it, it just looks funny.

Paul, Casey has been integral in working with me to get to where I am. He may not be on the Lair anymore, but we'll always be friends. I've also has the pleasure of talking with George and Scott Marshall over the phone. I'm learning from some of the best teachers that have a lot of experience doing this

 

[xdmray]

Hey J, did you put in some fiberglass matte? every now and then i forget to do it on my first cast cause im so excited to get a cast out.

cast looks great man. im surprised you didnt post up a few pics!

 

[XilianX2010]

That's awesome! I hope when it comes to making my bio it'll be easy. I'm just worried I won't be able to sculpt it. Your clay looks like a harder medium of clay.

 

[PredatrHuntr]

Daman - no fiberglass in it. Just resin and my special sauce lol!

 

[Klwl]

dayam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Double H]

Mary mother of God ..... I have been asleep for to long! Kick ass!

 

[carss66]

looks awesome to me mate.nothing wrong with marbles lol.

After I lined these up I heard the Count in my head say, "FIVE! Five Predator helmets, A-ah-ah!!!" ...but there was no thunder after that

I've got the process down to about an hour and I spill less and less resin each time haha! The first one is an off grey because stupid me used black Silc Pig to try and dye it. Going to get some pigment for silicone this coming week
