In this video I mould a sculpture of a skull and cast up some resin copies. Casts available here www.etsy.com/uk/listing/88910... www.thedarkpower.com Facebook / thedarkpower Instagram / thedarkpower Twitter / thedarkpower
Beautiful. I respect how rough and ready this was (no registration keys on the rubber mold or mother mold edges) but still pulled a really tight looking cast. That's just inspiring dude!
I am still impressed with how informative your videos are. I always get New knowledge and even ideas from watchujf your videos :) Also the shaddered skull idea was amazing! i might even try it for my self for some of my sculptures Keep on with the good Job!
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Thanks for explaining the process. You can use the same mold using concrete. A friend of mine used plaster instead of fiberglass and he used to make garden sculptures and statues. Cool. 💀
I had to make over 130 smashable skulls for a play. I of course went the cheap route (given the tight budgets of theatre) with plaster. I thought for sure when I saw you smash that skull you were doing it for the same reason... pleasant surprise to see a what you've done with these! :) Great work as always!
Hi mate. Great work excellent detail. Was looking at the Blue Stuff Silicone but could you tell me which brand your using? PS: If you had got some solder you could of used that to get the correct diameter of the cast and convert it to card for a nice snug fit for your resinn jacket
Thanks! I'm using this stuff www.dwrplastics.com/general-purpose-moulding-rubber.html Ah you mean bend some solder round the mould to get the contour? Good idea.
Love it! I sculpted a small skull (between the size of a golf ball and a baseball) and I am wondering what is the best method to make a mold of it for casting? 1. Place in a cup and pour resin in the cup? or 2. two part mold of L and R sides similar to this video... ?
I bought a decorative skull and noticed it had a little weight to it. On the very bottom of the stand (it’s a skull and little bit of spine on a stand) there is a little hole. What material could this be made from? I feel the little hole is a clue on how it was made.
I'm using this stuff with around 3% catalyst, although I'm often not that precise and usually over catalyse, so that might be why it seemed quicker www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/General_Purpose_Resin.html
I can't find a video of anyone doping this with a skull that has the jaw attached. The model I want to replicate, has the full jaw and it cannot be removed. Could you do a video for that?
Hi! I want to make a skull mould that will create a hollow skull. Would i be able to do it so that i get a top and bottom like in half acrosswise? How can I do this please? Thank you.
Hi Lianne, if I understand correctly I think the method in this video should work. You could either mould a half skull sculpture or mould a full skull and then cut it in half.
Haha, it's easier to work in smaller batches rather one one large batch. Plus those small cups don't have any edges moulded into them like some of the larger ones, which makes them ideal.
