Any place that does star wars casts?

[RedRebelCustoms]

What scale?

What scale?

3/34"

StarWarsGeek has a great selection in that scale I just added the link a couple weeks back. It's an Eba¥ store so the link is missing that word though.

I know I've mentioned making molds with silicone caulk before. I added a link in casting on page 2 of the thread that explains one such method and has pictures of the end result. Hope you enjoy guys!

I'm not sure what scale all of these are in except some are definitely 1:18 and one is 1:6 but they do look like clean casts. This guy dropped by the realm one day and seemingly dissappeared. I shot him a pm but no reply so I decided i'd look him up. Quite a selection here and if some of those are 1:12 as they appear I would order a few. Here's a link and if anyone knows him or has ordered, please LMK.

I think they are all 1:18 scale as they all look to be from GI Joes or Marvel U figures.

Does any place cast LOTR heads or accessories?

So, as the new deadpool figure from hml, I'm planning on using his head for some customs. Now, I don't want to buy a bunch of the figure, so I was planning on casting his head. Now, I don't know if this has been asked before, but I'm new to customizing and I've only recently heard of casting. So... What would i need and How would i do it?

Page 2 has links about casting How to's. There are a few youtube videos as well. Easiest way to start would be to buy a kit from a hobby store. Plastic dixie cups, stir sticks, gloves, and a scale capable of measuring grams may be needed. Be sure you have a well ventillated area to work in. For advanced casting you may want to look into a pressure pot or how to convert a paint pot for degassing. For now, a pounding board should work. Be prepared for some trial and error. You will probably have some bubbling. Epoxy works well as a filler. I am not a caster but I will do my best to answer any questions. The kits cost around $30 and will be good for a few casts. I don't recommend starting with clear casts as the extra heat they put off can ruin molds and be more difficult to cure. Definately read at least a few of the tutorials before attempting even though the kits have instructions. The manufacturers of the kits generally will have a website with a video how to. Hope that helped.

PM'd you. Casting accessories seems fairly easy with the lego method. Depending on what you're trying to cast.
