So today I got a little box in the mail. While this is nowhere complete, I thought it would give a good idea of where we are with Cad. The material on my neck is the material the shirt will be made out of...it's an ultra suede called "buckskin". The glove is a common hardware store type wi...

Here you go unfinished resin LL-30...

So I started this week trying to cast my guns...note to self know how much material you need before ordering or you end up building a mold box 3 times over just trying to get the volume down to what you have on hand... http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq281/TI7242/Marvin%20Starkiller/Clone/Bane/ba...

I know...did not realize it until I finished...I may need to reconsider the shape of the end piece...

Used smooth-on rubber and smooth cast 300 for this tube. I was able to mount the model onto clay and then slide this scrap tube I had sitting around (fish tank rock cleaner tube). Filled it with the rubber and then cut the tube on only one side to get the mold out and cut the mold down one side to g...

Well I finally decided to pull an under side...while I'm still perfecting my pull tech, this allowed me to put together for the first time a gaunlet based on the model I built. I cut this very roughly and put it together with tape and gave it a quick painting...this was a moment of truth was it wear...

Well I'm getting closer...turned out I still had a bad seal on my vac table will try again tomorrow. I did apply the wedge and poked some holes in the plug now I need to get some cotton gloves so I can manually shape the parts that are still coming out too soft like the wrists and the top details. h...

Well no vac forming tonight, but I did get some more work on my sidearm http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq281/TI7242/Marvin%20Starkiller/Clone/Bane/guns003-1.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq281/TI7242/Marvin%20Starkiller/Clone/Bane/guns002-1.jpg http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq281/T...

Thanks for the tips. The concept of drilling holes scares me I guess if I go slow I won't crack it. Should the wedge be flush to the peg board or should there be a small gap there. While I wait for more plastic I thought I'd turn to working my trusty side arms http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq28...

Last night I tried my had with Vac-forming...needless to say like most everyone first go was a failure...I haad only 2 pieces of styrene to work with I will pick up alot more this week. Couple of areas for improvement...bigger frame...bigger weather stripping and probably more HP for the vacuum. The...

...the molds are still looking ok after 2 days... i was told that alginate starts to decompose after a couple of hours that is why i went with smoothon silicon rubber stuff, i am very interested in hearing how your experiences with this stuff went since i have some boxes that i made that i will nee...

Tiny update vac table for kitchen use complete...now to get rid of the fear of burning down the house

Nice! I really like the two box method you used. It's pretty straight forward. What plaster did you use? Where did you get your alginate? I used regular "art Plaster" bought it at michaels. This is the stuff I used. http://environmolds.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=37 I bo...

So I finally got over my fear of the unknown and made those plugs. My first attempt with alginate taught me real quick how the alginate behaves. I tried to make a 2-part mold and needless to say I ended up with a blob. So I decided to use the box method and insert the model into and it worked like a...

So on Saturday I recieved "the box"...let me say that Wyatt's mask is absolutely spot on. The details and the quality of the mask is incredible. The detail in the sculpt is spot on, to include the scars on cad's face. One of the details that blew my mind was the fact that the teeth were ap...
