I don't personally expect to try duplicating what you do -- but it is very interesting and helps me to appreciate what goes into sculpting and molding figures.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffStagonian Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374684052610155140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596685140059117184.post-32108798307011010072008-01-19T18:37:00.000+00:002008-01-19T18:37:00.000+00:00I find that 4 "lego" blocks deep for the Mould wor...I find that 4 "lego" blocks deep for the Mould works well. I suppose you could get away with something thinner, it depends on the orientation of the figure as well, but they do get very hot when in use. A mould done on this format uses about 200g of rubber in total. <BR/><BR/>I'm based in the UK, where supplies of RTV are available from Alec Tiranti, I'll detail in subsequent posts.John Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449124628273885977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596685140059117184.post-91027516672456839672008-01-19T17:40:00.000+00:002008-01-19T17:40:00.000+00:00Interesting, why the 'middle' block of wood?In my ...Interesting, why the 'middle' block of wood?<BR/><BR/>In my mind this simply makes the mould thicker, much thicker than needed for usual RTV.<BR/><BR/>Also, what is your source of RTV?<BR/><BR/>Here in western Canada the Dow Corning material has dried up due to distribution issues. Some small kits can still be found but larger (more economical) amounts are just not available unless directly ordered from the company in really VAST quantities.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.com
