How to Cast Fantasy Miniatures in a two part rubber mold video 1 of 2

[xxTheCromwellxx]

can u make a exact list of what i need

[epicfantasy]

@xxTheCromwellxx I have a tutorial on my site.

[MrKoiking1]

could i use the spare plastic from the sprues? melt it down and pour it in? or does it have to be specialist plastic mix?

[epicfantasy]

@MrKoiking1 I am not sure about how much effort/heat it takes to melt down those sprues. Might cause a toxic fume or something.

[MrKoiking1]

@epicfantasy yeah thats what i was thinking. ill just use them to make some sort of partially made building or something, or scafolding.

[T3hLuNcHb0X]

Thank you for posting this video. I've been trying to figure out how to do this.

[epicfantasy]

@T3hLuNcHb0X You are very welcome. Have fun with thecastings! Be sure to send me pics!

[zonva83]

@epicfantasy you do vid of how to make that gel torso and head on deadliest warrior ?

[hunterns1]

@epicfantasy Hi i have a problem ,want to cast some warhammer miniatures specialy a horse but dont know how.Bretonian knight and horse.Specialy horse is little complicated to make a modle out of him,to put him into pieces or whole horse to make a modle? Please help :-)

[fucktard435345345353]

Would you advise using a different molding material, If you want pieces to be come out red or in different colors. I am trying to create different pieces for the game risk which has different color pieces.

[epicfantasy]

@fucktard435345345353 Great question. I looked through the manufacturers booklet on this stuff. Nothing about adding colors. i don't think you can add colors to this product before molding. Great project. Love Risk

@ 7:35.

I get my dremel and set it to it's highest setting and put it on my table, it turns my desk into an instant vibration table!

Great videos btw! I wish I saw this a year ago, I wouldn't have to learn from my mistakes!

[LuckyAssult]

This is great! I'm currently sculpting my own Chaos Dwarfs from scratch, and wanted to cast them. This has been a great help!

[epicfantasy]

@LuckyAssult Cool, be sure to send me pics! Put on my website!!

[uorme99]

Hi there, Thank you for this great video, I would like to ask, could i use plastercine and place my figurine in it instead of using clay? Good day!

[TTTgundams]

THIS IS AWESOME! thanks stormthecastle! Although i live in France and i really cant find this kind of rubber :(.. Also I'd like to make my own multi part miniatures games workshop style (and sell some :3 ) but does it mean I'd have to "build" the sprues with the gates etc? Also, does the rubber stick to the paper?

[mgm96]

hi thanks to yu¡our video i'm thinking about buying the Moldmaking & Casting Pourable Starter Kit. how many casts of one figure (30mm scale) can you make with the plastic mix provided aproximately? thanks awsome tutorial!

[GrizzlyBear672]

What " brand " of 2 parts of silicon rubber and 2 parts of plastic ( yellow & blue containers ) is used ? and brand of mold release agent used ?

[epicfantasy]

@GrizzlyBear672 I use stuff from a company called smooth-on. I also use their brand of mold release. It comes all together in a kit.

[MrCheespuff]

@epicfantasy Hello, i was just wondering, if you could make a list of the exact products you use in this video?

thank you, and i am a subscriber

[epicfantasy]

@MrCheespuff Thanks for subscribing. Check my website. I have the complete tutorial, parts list and even links to where to buy on amazon.

[Kitinetnies]

I use a similar technique, with a bit more work in the clay, although the end result is to pour metal into the mold. the silicone is more than capable of handling the low temps of white metal. I've made duplicates of greens as well as copies of commercial pieces like GW for my own use. Only use your powers for good!

[epicfantasy]

@Kitinetnies cool!

[remrat0]

is it legal to cast a lets say flames of war tanks then sell them online? like on ebay

[epicfantasy]

@remrat0 Yup, it's illegal :) Sorry

[commandergree09]

Can I use the funny corn flour dough?

[epicfantasy]

@commandergree09 no, it wouldn't work, sorry!

[infintry2]

mwahahah! my miniature empire starts today!! no longer shall i pay for overpriced cadians from games workshop! by the way is it possible to make a large mold with like..... 10 guys at a time?

[epicfantasy]

@infintry2 I am not sure how large you can make the mold. But definitely start out with a single figure mold. You are going to need the practice, and the learning how to do it.

Keep me posted and send me pics!

[Gleryff]

Does the two-part method work as well if, instead of building up the sprue with toothpicks from a single miniature, I used the sort of flat premade sprue, for instance the way GW plastic multipart miniatures come in the box?

[epicfantasy]

@Gleryff Yes, I think this would work.

[epicfantasy]

@Gleryff Yes, those sprues work very well.

[epicfantasy]

@ArchangelVsWorld I am not positive, have never tried it but I don't think so.

[versatilechicken]

where did you buy the plastic and rubber mix? cant find it on amazon

[XxXFreedomvideos]

Hi, I'm thinking about making casts of GamesWorkshop Steel Legion miniatures which are metal, but I want to make plastic replicas to save cash due to schooling and such.

[Orkle2]

@XxXFreedomvideos Thing is with that. People with knowledge that steel legion are metal and then lo and behold, they're actually lighter than metal then they'll obviously realise they're fake. But it does depend on who cares and who doesn't.

[YuiHisaishi]

How expensive is the plastic and the rubber?

[epicfantasy]

@YuiHisaishi It's expensive, going to cost you around a total of 40 dollars. But with the amount of plastic you probably could make 50 or more miniatures.

[YuiHisaishi]

@epicfantasy Oh wow, that is quite expensive..Lol. Alright, thanks =)

[rockriver9]

If you check out my channel, you will see that I am a paper crafter at heart. I can't remember when I first started watching your videos, it might have been the Xmas one with the Xbox. And, although I really could never see myself making the things that you do (I'm just not that talented), but I appreciate your spirit of giving and sharing what you know and putting all of these videos together. I don't know if everyone out here knows what all is involved here with what you do but I love it.

[epicfantasy]

Thanks for your kind workds. I am having fun making the videos and lots more interesting projects are coming :)

[JKTCGMV13]

MOLD CIVIL WAR BULLETS!... who said that?

[HumaKaVoola8900]

Could you use these molds for pewter instead of plastic?

[epicfantasy]

@HumaKaVoola8900 I am not sure, depends on the ability of this kind of rubber to tolerate the heat of the melted pewter. The rubber (RTV) is made by a company called Smooth-On. Could check their website.

[6Nicad6emus6]

@papaskittels Absolutely.... anything.

[ModelManTom]

I haven't done any molds yet, but have to learn in the coming months. My question: what about setting up a larger container around the mold that one can plug a vacuum cleaner hose into to help kill any air bubbles? Is it better to do that just after the rubber is mixed or once it is poured, or both times?

I realize the container would have to be very air tight to create the vacuum needed to pull the air out of the rubber, but it seems relatively feasible w.o getting a proper pressure pot.

[waffleownage]

what if you wanted to cast a much larger figure, say 7 - 9 inches?

[itachi1303]

I wonder if this can be applied to a latex play bullet. I wanna make a fair sized rubber/latex roundball for target shooting in my airgun. I got the latex, but now I just need the mold. This video is pretty great dude!
