Results of the first pull:

The resin didn't make through to the left nun-chuk hand and to the bottom of his shell. The upper half of the staff also didn't turn out. So I cut a few more air vents in the mold to improve the flow.
Second pull:
The additional vents in the mold did the trick but the resin didn't make it into the left staff forearm for some reason this time.
Third pull:
No clue what happened this time; the entire lower torso of one of the figures was missing as well as the staff :(

Fourth pull:
I didn't make any changes to the mold from the last pull, but the result here was pretty good (except for the left hand nun-chuk of course).

Broke the right hand nun-chuk while cleaning the model; the resin seems more brittle than I recall. |
Still have a lot of kinks to work out but not a bad start overall to learning how to cast using a pressure pot.
Cool! Interesting to see the learning curve :)
ReplyDeleteBut what a fun experiment! I love those figures, you should be proud of the sculpting!
