[Stilgar]

From all these Sith-Villains that emerged from games, books or comics Darth Nihilus is the way coolest one!

Nice project! :thumbsup

Well, the first attempt at the silicone caulk mold ended…slightly well. My mother called me while I was doing the molding so it started to set up while I was on the phone. Once this stuff starts to set, it is nearly impossible to get it to form to the sculpt. I poured a cast into the mold, and it is do-able. It will require A LOT more cleaning up than I usually like because one eye socket is pretty bad. I am contemplating if I should redo the mold. It is cheap so I think I might. If I do it again, I will be sure to take many pictures for a mini tutorial.

With silcone caulk do you mean this one?

I never heard about using this for molding. I must try it

That is pretty much the same stuff, but you have to be sure that you get 100% silicone caulk. I usually use GE transparent silicone 1. It works very nice.
