My first resin cast

Post by Jnewboy » Sun Jun 24, 2012 4:23 pm

Allot of firsts for me this week! I finished my very first 1/6 custom ever and really enjoyed it but dont know ow many more I will do. It is sold BTW, sorry guys.

This week I also did my first ever resin cast using Amazing Putty and Amazing Resin. I think it came out great especially considering it was my first. I made a mold of Big Bear's head as I love his hat and germans and russians wore them allot on the eastern front.

Here is Seep Dietrich posing in one:

Next is to start doing weapons, any hints?? I know you must make two sided molds but have seen conflicting info on how... some say to totally cover the item and once set up cut it off into two parts and add a air hole and some say to do one side then the other and use vasoline to stop the mold from touching.. how do you pros do it???

Thanks :D

Great work Jon. Does this possibly mean you may start making models similar to Pickels stuff?

I wish!! I basically just bought my sword at Walmart and he is the grand master on Kill Bill :lol:

I am just learning how to copy things, creating things from scratch is much much harder :cry:

Yes it is .

I started making single part moulds. Now I am making 3 part moulds with things stuck in them over 2 feet long !!!!

If you need any advice just ask :wink:

No time! :cry: Real life backs up projects. :x I haven't done much for my own collection in months. I'll probably stop taking custom orders for a while. I really don't have much left on the list, I just can't get time to sit down for a few hours uninterrupted. It comes in spurts. :lol: I'll try my hand though. I have a bout 20 things I want to replicate. :lol:
