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.

  1. 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??

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

  3. 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.

    1. I added some air vents and that made things much better

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