Needing a head shrunk

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey all, Im wanting to use a custom head (very unique) to make a figure but the head it far to big. If anyone is willing to make a smaller cast of it I would gladly let them keep the original to use as they wished.

I've been wondering how to do that myself, and I found this. You can use this technique to make a shrunken mold of the head.

If you've never cast in resin before, this is a tutorial on how to do that once you have your mold. It's actually very simple!

Well, you don't actually need most of them. Watch the shrink video again- while the scale is nice to have, all you really need are the three chemicals (Mold Star 16, NOVOCS, Liquid Plastic 325), a mold release spray, and some disposable paper cups.
