Head casting (with NO peg hole)

If I'm reading your post correctly, you're talking about taking a head and putting it in a cup to make a mold... one thing you can do if you want to keep that peg hole, is once you remove the mold from the cup, you can remove the clay that acts like the 'stand' and cover the inside with some petroleum jelly and then put more rubber into the plug hole. To make the casts, you fill the mold with plastic and then push the plug into the opening. Some of the plastic will probably spill out, but when the plastic cures you can pull the top piece of the mold off, and remove the head with the hole cast in already.

yes. Drill and route out the inside for the pop.

Ah I see, so I'd have to drill the hole myself.

Thanks :-)

I'm a bit confused. Almost all figures' heads pop onto a peg. The head gets drilled appropriately for the peg size it's going onto. I wouldn't count on resin being strong enough at that thickness to survive being popped on and off repeatedly. (possibly if you are using a vaccuum chamber, but I don't have one so I can't postulate)
