Adventures in Casting

[M-bot]

I am loving this series. Great work mate.

I'm also following on with great interest. Just make sure that you clean the vaseline off the parts thoroughly or else paint won't stick to it.
Also depending on the part sometimes you can get away with making a 1 pour mould and make slight cuts to the silicone to remove the part.

Loving the journey! Someone else on here did some moulding last year with the pinkysil. They too used a lego mould casing, there might be some further ideas in their thread. I recall it was mostly head moulds and there was issues with air bubbles.

I wish I had the time to dabble in this stuff.

Many thanks gents! I'm loving the journey too.

I must have missed the thread you are referring to UM. Air bubbles are an issue. I am going to post up some failed results in the next instalment where I didn't mix the resin well enough, which was a result of not wanting to aerate the mixture too much, in order to lower the chance of bubbles. Of course, like a fair chunk of this thread, the failure is spectacular!
