the blue stuff is the silicon rubber mold by Smooth-on OOMOO 25 or 35 (I chose 25 cause it’s faster)

Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 3 months agoSorry for triple post, but I’m wondering where I should make the hold for pouring and air vents, from what I see, the best bet would be the right side, where it’s all smooth, but I would like to hear other opinions before I make my final decision.

Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 3 months agoHere’s what I’ve got for the part below that I am currently replicating, decided to do any way or molding it for 2 part, gonna drill in some small holes so it was fall loose when I case it but here’s what I’ve got so far, any pointers is appreciated!

Could you tell me what step you did so far on this? Is the blue stuff resin? silicon mold or clay for mold? thanks. 🙂

So you can cut 2 tall drain on each side. Purpose is one ‘in’ and the other ‘out’, so air can get out when you pour your resin in. Just another tip, in case you don’t have resin, you can use polyester putty mix with thinner into liquid form and pour in. 🙂

Hi Fox, got it I’ll go with the rubber than. Just a quick question, when you said middle, you meant like right through the middle so it would be like split evenly so the split line would be the one almost horizontal to the picture I provided?
-
well, obviously, use your own best judgment, but given that shape, you have 2 options. split it down lenthwise so the seam runs down the ‘top’ side (top being the face you show in the image), or
2. you can try to mold it so the seam is along the side.
option 2 will be tricker as you won’t have a flat mold. if you need more specifics just…[Read more]

Hi Fox thanks for the response, I have searched up on google and seen people do both, so I just can’t decide whether to do silicone rubber or epoxy putty instead.
-
now all i’m about to say is imho.
if theres alot a fine details you want copied &/or you want to make alot of copies, use the rtv rubber. else use the putty.
the putty is good for casting a few copies of the same shape, with major details. never could get it to pick up fine details.

Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 3 months agoI got this part that I want to replicate at least 2 times, and I have silicone rubber liquid that goes into a mold and I also have Epoxy putty. My question is i’m not too sure which one I should use and if I do, how should I split it. I’m thinking just evenly straight down the middle, or through the middle of the body. Any help is appreciated thanks!
-
given that part, a simple 2 part mold down the middle would give you, your best castings. far as mold making, google 2 part mold and I’m sure you’ll find something more eleoquant then i

sorry typo I meant I don’t need it to be reflective xD, as long as it looks glossy gold and not puke gold xD
-
ahh I see well most gold paints don’t look like what you expect gold to look like, I’m guessing you already know that by the puke gold comment, try the clear yellow over silver technique I mentioned earlier see if you like that color, and as long as the surface was sanded down before hand and you apply a good gloss coat over it I think you’ll be…[Read more]

Thank you very much for spending time to find it. I’ve googled around too but couldn’t really find anything on it, but thanks! reflective is perfectly fine, I just need it to look golden-ish is all.
-
ok if you can get the reflectivity you want then you can just spray clear yellow over it, that will get you a pretty good color

Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 3 months agoHello guys, totally new beginner here, but I’m about to do something really challenging. I plan to combine parts from 5 different gundams, with pretty much Strike freedom as the main body. I plan to use molds like Smooth-on’s and their Resin cast to replicate these parts so I can still build the other 5 gundams I bought, however my question is the…[Read more]

you just made me do a bunch of searching to figure out you meant reflective gold. anyways there isn’t really a good way to paint reflective gold, you can get some very good results if you sand and polish things down then use something like Alcad chrome, or Mr.Color super metallic chrome silver, then use clear yellow over that, then use a gloss…[Read more]

Gaianotes Starbright silver, follow by clear yellow or clear orange (you can mix both to create better effect too).
Alcad II chrome, follow by alcad clear color.
Mr. Hobby metal color stainless silver, follow by clear yellow.And do remember to clear coat it. 😛
cheers. 🙂-
thanks will try all of those 😀
