it looks so good keep it up!
Looks promising!
Thankyou I finished the mold for the body and I'll be casting the first test to assemble and see what adjustments I may need to get nice clean casts. I'm slowly working on adding size to slamfist after reviewing the 60+ behind the scenes photos of slamfist from concept to finished character that stan Winston schools posted to their facebook page a few days ago, I've got plenty of reference now. I hope they plan on showing all the characters in this mannerBeautiful work! Nice to see them coming along. Really looking forward to the end result.
. I'm glad so many like it so far, adam Rifkin and stiles white seem to like it too via Twitter. Hoping to see what the guys over at stan Winston schools are gonna think about itLooks great!
i think I can help you for sure, I don't have a vacuum chamber my only work around for that is to pour half of the amount into the mold and rotate the mold then pour the rest and rotate the mold again then just let it sit and you should get rid of 99% of bubbles. I use the smooth cast 300 with a 10 min cure time. If I lived close to you I could show you in person but distance is too great but I'm confident that if you rotate your molds after pouring half and then pouring the other half and also rotate it after pouring the rest you should be all good. I know usually you put the resin in the vacuum chamber after mixing the 2 parts( not sure if degassing both parts, mixing and then degassing again is actually introducing more air into the mix) also I thnk that putting the molds in the vacuum may be doing the opposite of your intent, what you need to do is add positive pressure to the filled molds, and the vacuum is pulling negative pressure instead of the positive pressure that you need to force most of the surface bibles into the center of the casts. Give it another shot but this time only degass the resin after thoroughly mixing parts A and B and then fill the molds as I described above rotate & fill the rest ( don't fear a little overfill of resin) and I think you'll See a great improvement in your casts. I hope I've been of some help & keep in mind that you have to learn the do's and don't (if you will) of each mold we make in order the get the best results. Let me know how things go cause I'm extremely excited to see a nice clean kip cast. Don't fret and don't be deterred because in the end you are going to produce awesome work my friendThat looks fantastic! I envy you for your progress... Made two resin casts from my Kip molds, and they are so full of bubbles... I could cry, really. Bought a vacuum chamber and put the two TASK 2 components in it to degass and thereafter the mixture again... but when I pour the resin into the mold, it's full of bubbles again... maybe the filling hole is to small, I don't know... put the mold with the resin inside into the vacuum chamber again too, but the only thing that happens is that it bubbles out like crazy and then part of the resin is on top of the mold outside the mold. And the inside is still full of bubbles... So much for making casts... My boy will not like that, I'm afraid, and I can't let him play with the foam original, either... Suck, really... What resin do you use? Do you have a vacuum chamber or how do you deal with the bubbles?
