It's cool to see the progression of how your molding/modeling process. Not a lot of people do, "lessons learned" type videos.

Thank you, best way to learn is to just try and then learn by any mistakes =)

Really love the method of making the mold with a plastic cup and then using a plastic cup to hold the mold together when you are pouring. Genius

Thank you, it does work well =)

Using the plastic cups is a very clever idea!!!

Your version actually looks better then the official article! Much more grimy and gritty! The only thing that could've improved it is if could have done that netting style of the flesh areas! Great stuff! Also thank you for the lessons!

Another excellent video. Your videos have inspired me to buy some 2 part silicon and a set of digital scales 😊👍

I might try doing this. I got a 3D printer so I could make my own D&D minis but I don't wanna wait hours on possible failed prints.

so there are that kind of minis with mega construx now? a bit too much of things are coming to my mind now, like...predators minis + some 40k bits + molding....too much possibilities! argh! loved that method for molding by the way x')

I fell asleep and missed the premiere

I enjoyed this video. You can see how you skilsl have developed since you made this video. When Im casting, I tend to cast as many parts seperately as possible then I pin and use milliput or green stuff to fill in the gaps. You already have the skills of a caster you are like 65% of the way to producing your own minature sculpts. Why not go all in? Try a little sculpting. I recommend Polymer Clay or Milliput.

My god, its a brilliant idea! I tries to copy tank wheels(dunno how to call it in Englishl, and there was that damn air holes. Defenetly would try it again tomrrow with green stuff in air holes

@@Minedeployder Without access to professional equipment, such as a spin casting machine, air holes are always going to happen. So you find that when you self -cast using blue stuff or whatever, you are often resculpting anyway, I myself have had to hand shape afterwords with carving tools - in many ways this is why milliput style putties are superior because you can carve them which can create more interesting details. Never throw anything away, a misshapen wheel or other bit can make an interesting feature on a base. Good Luck.

After watching the post you had about the box of donated goodies you rec'd(marines, tau stuff,etc) and it moved me to donate all my Vallejo paints to some local younger hobbyists....I'm very glad to have done this. Thanks for the inspiration too and thanks Roggor too

Hypothetically, would this be a fine way of duplicating a larger object, perhaps something similar in shape, size, and appearance to a spruce for non-trademark space soldiers? Or would you recommend something else to do objects of such size?

It would be possible. Its not easy and you would have to make vents for air but it is doable

I dont want anybody building a statue of me to remember me, but I would love this guy to make a miniature of me.

Cool Predator model, my man! ~ Wolfbrother Methos

mold making question, if you add say toothpicks to the original cast to add in some "through lines" would that make pouring in the plastic better as air won't get caught in the limbs?

Cannot post an image, but 6 minutes in. What is the drill tool?

Cup method works good. :)

Can you use clay instead of silicone?

amazing! Thankyou

Hiya, yes thats me, I took the videos off my lego channel and will start putting them up here as well as new ones =)

It’s not the air geet trap or not. You pouring from bottom up and the arm direction is above down. You can’t expect the resin go that way to the arm place. You need a direct air hole to the arm and poor directly to that air hole.

Sorry, nothing new to see. I do have a recommendation. Gravity pulls down, bubbles float up. What you need are some reservoirs at the bottom. Think the gate connections to the sprue on the market minis. The plastic will be less likely to leave bubbles at the bottom. I hope that makes some sense.

Yes mcx figures

You know the mcdonalds at home meme ? This is the opposite of that

FItneSS fRanK action figure anyone?!??

Nice try , but u doing all wrong- first when u pooring silicone ( if u dont have wacum ) pore it in layers , when u removing figure from silicone make precision cut not tear it a part
