what kid is that lucky?!

[MrEJR26]

Can this work on action figures?

@MrEJR26 You could use our Rebound 25 silicone for non-lifecasting applications.

good thing that kid doesnt have ADD

[Tom1988ism]

This looks weird. Why do you want a child's face?

[SmoothOnInc]

@Tom1988ism This can be used as a memento to save for years, or give to a relative. Lifecastings are used in many different sculptural and memorial applications.

Ooh, I hope my model doesn't become claustrophobic (Surprisingly, this happens during these kinds of situations)

I really want to try this!

[SmoothOnInc]

@SANCxFREAK Communication is key in keeping your model comfortable.

what if u wanted to add eyes? how will i do that?

[SmoothOnInc]

@leostyle7771 Generally the eyes are sculpted open in the final casting. This can be done by pouring melted wax or clay into the Body Double mold instead of the resin. The wax or clay casting can then be re-sculpted and re-molded.

I would have been so tempted to open my eyes lol

[Dustinavollmar]

What proportion did you mix the bronze powder and resin for this piece?

[SmoothOnInc]

@Dustinavollmar The mix is 1A:1B resin and 1 part metal powder. We also have a metal cold casting video on our channel which gives more information.

Wow that child was very well behaved and patient that would of made me unpatient.

[SmoothOnInc]

@mysterymelody Applying the rubber is fairly fast, and the mold is lightweight. Some models even tell us that it is very meditative and relaxing!
