Hey everyone, I hope you all enjoy this video! The first try didn’t work out as well as I planned but that’s ok. There’s a few things I should have done differently but I’ll save that for a different video. Overall though I’m quite happy with how the bigger one turned out. If there’s something you’d like to see me do, let me know. See you all in the next one and have a great weekend! 👋🏻

Magnificent bust. One of your best pours to date... your technique has certainly improved. This bust could certainly be regarded as artistic

crazy sick

Great pour!!!

Looks great!

Very cool 😎

Awesome job 👍

Absolutely great your vids are top notch

Nice one. 🗽

perfect

Great work dude !

Wow looks great sir. Nice details in it.

❤great thanks

Nice

that would make a NICE hood ornament :)

As always- fun video- looks good from here- one point to consider- with your layer lines- get a UV flashlight and a jar of UV curing resin from elegoo- Post process your 3d print by simply Panting a layer of UV resin on your master and cure it with the UV light- fills in the voids and eliminates a large reason for your surface bubbles/voids- smoother finish and you can sand back if needed. Get a dark resin to contrast your white print so you can see the areas you filled. Looking good! Keep it up

I was expecting a life size one.... NECK PRoJeCT!!!

woooow that whas an great job and melting ;)

Awesome work. The casting medium can pick up incredibly small features. In Jewellry circles at least, they get the finished wax piece up to as good a polich as you can. After casting the finished pieces only have to go in a tumbler for a while to comeout looking good/polished. Or close to it at least.

haha that turned out to be pretty cool!

Is that massive/solid, I mean not hollow? Quite a risk, knowing how bronze shrinks! Good for you,man!

Looks great! Nice job!

Nice, I'm thinking of casting my lost wax cast of the naked twi'lek from Star Wars someday using the 3D resin print of the twi'lek as a negative mold for the silicone positive mold for casting wax for the investment mold

You did a great job Adam:)

​@ArtByAdrock I just found you, I've been watching bigstacked for years. I definitely enjoy his long videos, allows me to play games or design w.e I'm doing with a nice long video lol. Seems you do a bit more that I am very interested in

Stay safe.

I like the stopgap of the acrylic lid till you managed to get a steel plate made to fit. Was a pain making mine, had to use drill to cut out the rough shape then grind it out with the anglel grinder and a bunch of burrs loll Reminds me I need to go at it with the burrs again, as when casting bronze the steel flask swells so much it's not an easy fit into the rather tight fitting hole i made. Next one I make, I'm paying the extra for a plasma cut steel round with the right sized hole in it from start.

that turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! WOW!!! Maybe you could do some 'famous' or 'recognizable' heads around the same size and have a bit of a collection... maybe Batman, the Terminator (where half his skin came off and you can see the metal skull and red eye... and you could glue a bright red garnet for the eye), Deadpool, and Ironman all come straight to mind.... but I know you would come up with some better heads than my obvious ones.... but MAYBE you need to build a little more shelf space LOL ... your collection is gettin a bit big for that shelving LOL (thats a GOOD thing) :)

That is aluminum bronze right? 89% copper and 11% aluminum? Great job!

now do a life-size version!

Nice job, how is it the bronze does not oxidize?

I like the idea of doing a full chess set. The 2 sets of pieces being in bronze, brass, copper or aluminium.

It was so shiny it looked like there was a parting line 🤩😎👏🤣 please do a action figure!!! I've been working on a couple but am having trouble doing the whole lost wax molds. (Cutting the silicone 😵‍💫) ...and sand can be tricky .... especially in the "crevices "...

@@ArtByAdrock silicone - yeah I agree ! (Will do that next time) it worked ok the first few times but the wax I was at first to brittle and arms and legs kept breaking ...then I tried using a wax injector (first time using one)with a different wax and when my girlfriend and I tried to remove it the hands came out at a bad angle I guess and tore the mold...😵‍💫🙄 It's a shame because on the first attempts we had bubble issues but practically invincible parting lines .... Otherwise I've done a few small sand casts with varying results (venting the hands and feet can be tricky in my small flask) but I do now have a tiny copper Ninja Turtle that lives in my pocket ;) 🤙 and one in homemade tin bronze that I still need to clean up

Sweet! It came out awesome! I should send you some wax skulls to work with! I know you would rather work with PLA, but I have wax! LOL Thanx for a great vid Adam!

Beautiful work! Just getting into bronze casting and the larger bust turned out flawless imo. Do you think it would be possible to make an animal in a cage in 1 cast?

@ArtByAdrock

10 ай бұрын

Thanks. I think so, you might need to add some additional sprues though depending on how the animal is in the cage.

did you do any burnout cycles to the plaster mold? or you poured the metal just after all the wax was gone?

You should make a bunch and give them to your family during Christmas and birthdays. Would be funny.
