Sculpting w/POLYMER CLAY -Sculpey, Silicone Mold Making, Resin Casting... In this sculpting tutorial I run through the basics - sculpting with super sculpey, silicone mold making, resin casting, and painting resin. It's a brief "how to make designer toys" tutorial - the basics of how most of my designer toys are created. Here are some tool and materials links from the video:

That's a tough one. Best to cast it in parts then assemble. Stay tuned for my videos on 3d printing which is another great option :)

No pressure casting then ? Nice to see that is not always necessary ;) Cute creature !

@SteveFerrera Жыл бұрын

I almost always pressure cast- this was just an example how you can get away with not doing it for simple pieces :)

@ArleneA 4 жыл бұрын

This is really helpful! I want to make custom nendoroid figures and recast hair, but I'm stuck on how I can have the silicone completely cover it. I cant attach it to the wood like you did on yours so how can I have it float inside the mold. Does what I'm asking make sense? Thanks!

@Declan-pg8cg 3 жыл бұрын

If you mean casting only the hair, it can be done a number of ways. But if you want the cast hair separate to put on a specific figure, you need to take that figure into account. A two part mold works beautifully for most of these applications. What exactly are you looking to do?

@fybso3057 2 жыл бұрын

Would you say this is worth making if you want just one neat clean figure for yourself?

@SteveFerrera Жыл бұрын

It's a lot of work for one clean figure- but cheaper than scanning and printing- unless its a large piece- but I've done it a bunch of times just for one good one.

i always wondered why they get molded after sla printing? does thiss makes sense if u only need 3-4 pieces of a character? sorry for the noob quesiton lol

I can usually get about 30-35 good casts out of a mold :)

Instead of resign could you use silicone to make squishy toys?

Yes, there are silicones that you can cast into other silicones.

yep- with white or clear resin- you add it to one part specifically- I can't remember if it's A or B...

If I can make the mold without baking it I will. It's easier to remove from the silicone :)

Wow! Really nice! Just want to ask, why is your final resin opaque white and not transparent? Is it because you are using casting resin? Or because of the baby powder? Sorry just a newbie here and I really want to learn about resin toy making.

@maddiedoes3571 2 жыл бұрын

There is a chance that he used an opaque resin coloring, but I can't say for sure.

@SteveFerrera Жыл бұрын

yep- i specifically get the white- I like that as a base for painting- but they have clear and black and you can usually dye any color too.

@jrios662 4 жыл бұрын

I know super Sculpey is a clay that you bake but my question is when you make the mold of it do you have to bake it or do you pull the mold on it raw.

@SteveFerrera 6 ай бұрын

You don't have to bake it. It peels out of the silicone easily unbaked- but I usually bake it so it has a bit of structure- so I can bump it around a bit when I'm setting up the mold :)
