Using legos as a mold frame thingy?! Genius!! ::chef’s kiss::

@ColvyMolvy

I've seen so many videos where they use lego. Its just another use for it lol

Love this video. One thing not really mentioned / kind of skipped over is that the little ball of clay under the figure doubles as both a way to keep the figure up and also a pouring spout for your resin! From what I heard a good rule of thumb for placing this spout (smaller vents are also called a sprue) is to put it in a spot people wouldnt notice like where the figure touches the ground or the back of the figure. Here the fig is facing forward and you dont really see the back, so the pour spout is in a great spot while keeping the figure level enough to pour your resin in without bubbles or gaps. Try to position your model in a way where gravity will hit the detailed spots most and any issues that could come up will hit places like feet or under legs, that you can easily clean up. Remember that having overspill or two much material is way better than not having enough/ big gaps in your pour.

thank you for your comment! the back of the figure is flat as it is designed to stand against the wall so it's very easy to sand it down, the pouring hole is big enough for this figure with no overhang so no vents required.

Definitely this! I didn't want to do the two-piece mold route so this helps me skip a couple steps with the clay.

Hello! Great video with simple and clear instructions on how to make a mold.

Thanks!
