I'm now sculpting a figure which I'll want to have a lot of copies of (it's nowhere near finished yet). That means I'll need to cast it, but I have no idea where to get the materials, and the article I remember being in the Tomes is not there anymore (might never have been there anyway). Help? |

It's probably not suitable for your needs, but i've been trying out something called 'oyumaru' recently. The detail you can get is excellent and it's really cheap, have a look into it. VG |

In the U.S. http://www.smooth-on.com For plastic and resin Sorta-clear 37. You can see the master so that you can make cuts for two part molds. Black liquid plastic Smooth-Cast Onyx Slow. When you have some experience you can switch to fast. The black color helps you see that air is not trapped in the Sorta-Clear mold. They have a mold material for metal but most of you seem to like plastic and resin. Metal is harder to cast by hand. You need a spin caster and a rubber vulcaniser for a really high quality cast. The metal will chill and not flow into the mold evenly unless the mold is designed very carefully and vented properly. I have used alumilite. You can buy it at Hobby Lobby and Hobby Town USA. I have a local Smooth-on retailer. They make a lot of movies in Atlanta so there is a need for a local rep. http://www.alumilite.com/ProdDetail.cfm ... ting%20Kit |
