Anyone make their own sculptures and molds?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 10, 2005 11:53 AM
I am interested in having a stab at sculpting my own figures and creating molds. I have found some references for materials and manequins, but I wondered if anyone have tried it here.

I'm interested in 1/35 or 54mm scale. It's hard to find existing figures for my needs.

Cheers,

David

I haven't tried it on a small scale yet, but I've been planning to go off in that terrain for a while. I've done some 1/6 scale heads in resin that have turned out really nicely, but never an entire figure in 54mm.

I'm thinking of doing some metal-casting. Is that what you have in mind?

Please keep us posted. I, for one, would like to see what you come up with.

Take care,

Mark

Hi Mark,

I've been looking at 'green stuff' or 'blue and yellow' to create a master from the ground up. Then I'll make the mold and try casting it in resin.

I'm a long way off...I have been reading up on it, but it could be a month or 2 before I get started.

I will post when something happens.

Cheers,

David
