Here are the stuff you need for molding and casting in resin. I bought this last payday. Cost me around US$27.50. The tiny bottle on the left side is the resin catalyst. The only problem here is that I don't have the dye. so when I do the casting, it's transparent.

I first made molds of several vignette bases I got from Verlinden and the some Italeri house and church ruins. The rubber mold came out great. I'm still waiting for my cast to dry which might be when I get of from work today.





Remember, be in a well ventilated area.

Tsong, di ko makita yung unang pic. As for the clear resin, have you tried adding dye of some sort (jobus)?? I heard that there are some people who add jobus to their casting so they can see it clearly este makita yung detail ng mold. :-) :-)

Does anybody know where i can find them resins locally?

Ask GI.

mondo, how does that thing "stinks"??

Sorry boys n girls duon sa pic. Buti na edit ko din. May space duon sa string na ginawa ko. Nag ta-trabaho kasi ako habang nag lalaro. Buti na lang dito sa Saudi marami di makaintindi ng trabaho ko. Kahit ako i ko rin maintindihan.


shonen_REDMAN: yung latex rubber mold medyo mapanghi, yung resing fromula may katapangan ang amoy. Mas maganda na ilayo mo mukha mo pagnag hahalo at buhos ka dahil "stings your eyes". Hirap itagalog.

Now I see it. Hehehe... siguro nga sa labas ako dapat magtrabaho pag may resin na. Thanks for the head up!

Well guys, it works. Nga lang kailangan ko talaga yung dye dahil transparent yung nagawa ko. Medio mahirap bantayan yung detail. I used a marker pen to check for details. One more thing. Make sure that when you pour the cast and let it dry, place it on a level place. Unfortunatel my window sill is a bit off-level. And also make sure that there is no sandstorm when you're drying it outdoor. That won't make your day.

Cbrain21: I have a family friend who's into the fibreglass crafting business. They use resin and RTV for it. The resin costs P98, while its catalyst costs P19, for a total price of P117. PM me for more details.

Can I also ask for fiberglass covers? Especially to cover the perimeter of the dio/model?

I think Shonnen what you need is a Clear Acrylic cover because fiberglass is different it comes in as a raw material... parang "Banig"
