Sculpt & Cast ... first mould and initial results...

 hoorah ! a mould with two halve, masters came out easily
the first pour of metal - arm and leg problems - will add some air vents and see what happens.

Could you turn the masters upside down so that you are pouring in lead through their heads - that way gravity would help with the arms??

Very nice; may I ask what mould material you have used please ?

Nice work! Isn't it fun and rewarding to sculpt and mold and cast your own figures?

I have found that cutting some fine air vents can make a big difference in getting nice castings. It often doesn't need much.

Great work....looking forward to seeing complete castings when you have tweaked the mould.

I added some air vents using a stanley knife - solved the main problems

I've been using Polycraft GP-2481-F RTV Silicon

I added some air vents and that made things much better

I've got the bug and want to get more moulds made
