Most commercial minis are very difficult to cast using this method - to prevent problems with undercuts, etc., the mold would have to have an irregular fit (try looking at how the mold-lines run on a mini).
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

TECNICALLY you could. for example some big kits like the lotr troll comes with like 10 times more arms and heads than it does legs and body, so you could cast them up. but it would have a limited use.

Thank you .

I was just wondering if you could that's all.

I don't know anything about it really, I'm impressed by your sculpting attempts.

As I have said play doh with the kids is as far as I've got - didn't go well at all. They produced better models than me  lol

thanks for the remarks .

Good, straightforward 'howto', wisecrack.

(I like your Napoleon Dynamite teeshirt)

hahahaha, i didn't even think napoleon dynamite when i was painting him, i was thinking more Rolf Harris in a vest but thanks for the idea.


Ummm, I was thinking of the 'Vote for Pedro' Tee... Or doesn't that have anything to do with the flick?
