tubachris85x Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey everyone I want to apologize for not responding, Ive been pretty busy, and almost totally forgot about these. The ABS supplier basically fell through, which actually really upset me. However, I am considering to cast these in fiberglass once I get a mold made. The sculpts still need a little fixing up, and since I am considering fiberglass now, all casts will be from a single mold, and make a set consistant with each other. Price may change, but it may stay the same. I will try to get this started when I can. Thanks -tubachris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubachris85x Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ok, well Ive decided to go ahead and cast these in fiberglass. I just ordered some silicone molding materials, and will mold it once I finish prepping the sculpt. Once thats done, I'll make a first cast. To be quite honest, this will be my first molding experience, as well as FG casting. I will practice first of course! Updates to come -tubachris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubachris85x Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yikes! Ive been trying to get onto the forum for a few days, just wouldnt load up! Anyways, I got the silicone rubber, Im practicing with a smaller object right now for me to practice with. Thats currently setting. However, due to the cost of materials, I am sincerely thinking of re-sculpting the hand plates. Upon closer inspection of my original sculpt, its not looking mold worthy, and I feel I can do a much better job then what it is right now. I'll keep you guys updated -tubachris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubachris85x Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks for your interest guys. I am still practicing with the silicone rubber right now, I have two practice molds Im waiting to see if they turn out okay. I tried one earlier last week, but it didnt turn out alright. Still practicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk2230 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi Chris. I am interested if you are willing to ship to Canada? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubachris85x Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 To Tk2230, yes, should I follow through with this, I will be willing to ship to canada. Just an update, the silicone mold turned out perfect. I have a better idea of how to go about this. Like I said before, im really thinking about re-doing the sculpt. The exisistiing one will be really difficult for me to fix up while keeping it as clean as possible. I'll keep everyone updated. My first silicone mold! Casted in fiberglass resin Thanks -tubachris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
