The bite of the giant water bug is really infamous. Great cast!

you can chisel off the flashing with a sharp little chisel and hammer right at the base of the flashing, works a charm!

Great work! I'd like to see you do a praying mantis. Or maybe a tarantula. Can you do a fish?

I told my little cousins to go catch me a praying mantis at the end of the video but it cut off for some reason. But I think that would be a super cool bronze.

So cool! The boys were hoping this one could come out soon! They just caught another toe biter in the net while smelting the other day.

I don’t know what happened, but the end of the video glitched and skipped the part where I thanked the boys. I didn’t bring my computer to Thailand so I can’t fix it.

Good work, man

I know girls are supposed to say eeww to bugs. And although he does look creepy, I am so interested in bug life. I love to find out what their super powers are. So this one was very cool. In my excellent opinion, anyway!

@@lundgrenbronzestudios I agree, insect look amazing in bronze. I have few suggestions to earn some $. Cast coins, belt buckles and other easier objects. It would be amazing to see you do Corinthian helm 1:1 scale one day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinthian_helmet Much larger but it could also be great in smaller scale as a paper weight. Also I would suggest getting something like 3DMakerpro Seal Lite to print in resin and cast. You would get more consistent models.

Nice!👏👏👏👍👍👍

Does the flashing happen in part because you cant vacuum the investment during the pour process? Or at least is that a large contributing factor?

@lundgrenbronzestudios

Ай бұрын

No I messed the mixture possibly or I rushed the burn out too much. Those are likely reasons for the flashing.

Just a novice here. I recently got a half decent vacuum pump and im wondering how you set up your chamber?
