Hi epic i love your work, i had a question about what you use your making your molds. I have some bases that i want to mold like you mold your walls, do you have any products you recommend or tips? What do you use for the mold and what do you use for cast?
Thx for your help,

Hi Blind,
For the moulds i use silicone RTV mould making rubber shore A30 avaiilble of ebay, Its samon pink in colour and is easy to mix, I dont measure the mixture just order what size i need and throw the hardner straight in and mix in one go, goes from white to pink when fully mixed. Its not cheap but easily the one of the better products as it flows very easily and air bubbles dont happen/ they make there own way out due to the chemical components used, its designed for people who dont have acess to vaccum tanks. Good product.
Resin, Easy flow 60 Liquid plastic polyurethane, Also of ebay, go for the white as there is no cost difference as it looks better than the clear stuff, can be demoulded in 15 mins or less, 1 to 1 mixture so very quick to mix and use. Results are excellent for shallow objects like buildings etc i.e flat mould type work. Minatures not so good as it did not work that well on my space chimps but that may of been the mould.
Not sure if your stateside or uk side but try these products as they are a little pricey but ease of use is fantastic, its a very good feeling to make your own stuff
Regards epic
