Casting

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

I have seen about people casting bases and solid mates before, and I was wondering if anyone had ever tried casting minimate hairpieces?

I have a few customs in mind, but some of the bits I need are pretty pricey, for example Champions Black Widow, even more so when I only need one piece.

I can cast stuff, but there's still the problem of tracking down the original pieces here in the UK.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I enjoy making the decals, its just a bit frustrating when I can't progress any further with a custom.

I know there's the castingcave which sells various 6" bits and bobs, it would be cool if we could set something like that up on here.

I made a mold and casts of the hair piece for my Venus de Milo Minimate that I sold in the store for a while. I don't do it a lot because molding/casting is time consuming, but I might get back into it again. I have tried several products, and the only ones that have worked for me were from Smooth-On.com. To make the rubber mold I used Mold Star 15 or 16, for mold release I used Ease Release 200, and for resin I used Smooth Cast 320 or 325.
