Thank you so much for the kind words! Those were fun to work on!

Yes, well one of the reasons is that I am not great at moulding or casting, and to get good casts you need a pressure pot, and you need to know what you are doing. I used to cast and mould and it takes a lot of time to learn to cast clean pieces and at one point I decided that I want to be a good designer and sculptor and that I can't do everything, so I focused on what I can do best, most of the pieces I do in-house are low runa or one offs so it works out ok for me.

Thank you so much 😍

Thank you so much for the kind words Michal. It really means a lot! your work is beautiful; I love the Alice in Wonderland pieces that you did; these came out so beautiful.

Thank you for the advice and your concern, really means a lot 🤗. but I have been using it for about 5 years now, the temperature never goes over 40 degrees it's a small ultrasonic, I have looked into it before using it. The only thing that you need to do is to keep an open window to make sure you have enough fresh air or wear a mask. As for the filling holes, I always levea at least one hole for the gasses to be released, thank you for the tip though. In 8 years of toy design and prototyping I have seen my share of broken cracked or ballooned pieces, so I learned it the hard way. I was actually going to record a video on how to never close your figure totally. As for curing with water Idont know what to say, I have seen some makers do that, I never tried it mysel, the form labs curing booth uses heat while curing depending on what resin you print with. So I am guessing or at least hoping they know their stuff 😅

​@@karmieh can you use silicone brushed on Over a sculpture made from magic sculpt, two part epoxy clay? I'm using Rebound 25 silicone. I know you can't use sulfur based Clay's, even sealed with brush on silicone. Won't cure

@@Arnoldman-ep9gw I wish I could help you with that, I have no idea, I stopped moulding and casting about 4 years ago, I know the basic stuff when it comes to moulding and casting.

Thank you so much for the kind words 🙌❤️🙏 much love from Transylvania

Thank you, well I don't always get clean prints, sometimes I need to re-print but since I have bought the Form 3 there have been fewer cases. As for production if my run is under 25 piece I make them all in house using the 3d printer, I used to mould and cast but it's very time consuming and you have to put in the time to get good at it. And I decided that I would rather spend my time learning how to be a better sculptor and toy designer then moulder and caster. At the end of the day there is only 24 hours in one day. If I release a toy that is over the 25 pieces then I usually hire a caster to mould and cast them for me, if the run is small I would ask to be cast, cleaned and primed and I will paint them but if the run is over 100 pieces then I would hire a small shop to take care of moulding casting, painting and foam cutting so the whole production. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you so much! Yes, I used the Form cure to UV all my pieces, but to be honest, it's too expensive for that money. You can get a 3d printer from Anycubic, and they released the Anycubic Wash & Cure Max Machine which washes and cures your pieces.

Thank you so much for your kind words, for airbrush I used two airbrushes both from Harder & Steenbeck an Infinity and an Ultra, as for the spray booth, its from a company in the UK called Benchvent, this is the one that I got, I have had this booth for about 4 years now and it's been just fantastic.

Thank you lovely! 😍🥰

I designed those boxes, but I had them made at a company that specialises in this. Thank you, glad you like how it came out!

Hey! Thank you so very much for the kind words! I am so happy that you found the video helpful, it really means a lot. As for varnish, I use Vallejo as-well, matt, satin and gloss and I love them.

Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️❤️🙏

Thank you so much for the kind words. Really means a great deal. Yes, I seal my figures with a sealer from Vallejo acrylicosvallejo.com/en/product/hobby/auxiliaries-model/acrylic-matt-spray-varnish-28531/ Matt, Satin or glossy depending on what type of material I am going for.

@@karmieh Thank you! I will definitely give it a try! :)

Thank you so very much for the kind words, I am using MR Surfacer for the primer and Tamiya flat black XF-1 and Tamiya Red XF-7 and I think for the white I am using either Tamiya or Mr hobby Glossy, I mix a big bottle to make easier for airbrushing. I promise to make a video only with the paints that I use.

It's called a mini linear sander the one I have is from a company called Proxxon.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I wish you all the best in your journey. After I mark those pieces I go and sand them again either by hand or with the Linear sander, I use high grit paper 600-800 and sometimes 1000 depending on the piece, but I highly recommend those 3M sanding sponges they are a game changer, and using them on the Linear sander it just saved me so many hours. I hope this helps!

@@karmieh awesome, really appreciate that!

Yes, I always leave at least one hole open, I usually hide the holes on connecting keys or parts that are overlapped when you glue them, this way you never risk having the toy crack because of all the gas build-up, especially if you keep that piece in the sun or heat.

The black marker is for marking the areas that need more sanding, I don't know what you mean by the defaults, but if you are asking about the print supports, those are sanded off; for these pieces, I did two passes of sanding and priming, before applying the base colours. hope this helps

@@karmieh Yes, thanks a lot! I'm trying to learn the whole process

I use Tamiya, Mr Hobby Aqueous and Vallejo for airbrushing and hand painting. With Tamiya you have to add thick coats and be confident and let it dry before adding another, with vallejo if you want the result to come out clean you need to use thin layers and multiple ones this way you won't see the brush lines, Hope this helps,

Thank you, thank you so much, you save my life 😁

@@karmieh Thanks good sir!

When you started to lace shoes I was like “wow this is serious” :) Love your work. Beautiful.

Thank you for your concern, its a small ultrasonic, the temperature doesn't go up higher than 40 dergess Celsius, I have been using this methode for over 4 years now, and I didn't have any incidents, with that said, I n ver leave it without supervision, just make sure to wear a mask and have the room well ventilated.
