Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, Geeks! Today I'll be showing you guys how we textured and molded my 3d Printed Batfleck cowl as well as make a first resin casting. Enjoy!
An easy way to tie plaster molds together: Get old bicycle inner tubes and cut them into long rubber strips. Tie them around the mold as though you are tying string. It's like a rubber band rope.
michael march no offense but that isn't correct at all. Every cowl was foam latex excluding the TDK. No other cowl was able to turn their head. The DOJ was way more engineered than any previous piece. Also foam is just as hot as anything else. There is a ton of misinformation out there
I have a Michael Keaton Batman cowl. It's old but I got it in like new condition. I'm making a Batman costume that's designed to look like it's from the 2050s. It won't look Batman beyond, but more industrial and techno. It'll be gray with yellow accents, and the cape will be attached to shoulder pauldrons. I'm gonna try to make videos when I start building it, but no promises
that such a colleague, I would like to know how often the next layer of silicone is applied and how long it is left to rest to obtain a beautiful piece, thanks
Awesome video Chris! Out of curiosity, have you thought of thickening you silicone with something similar to Thivex, so that you have a thicker silicone to slab on without wasting a lot running down? :D
May I ask what makes urethane so hard to work with? I am painstakingly making resin cowl and armor pieces for molding and then casting. I thought urethane may be a good idea. Lol! Maybe not?
cool but I see thats was your first big silicon mold because you forget some silicon keys and a thicker line on your cut line.Its much better for your hard mold you have silicone keys on your silicon mold to hold it in plance ;-)
You should give foam latex a go, Chris! There's this guy on Instagram that uses it for all his masks/cowls/etc. and they look fucken great and are insanely flexable!
