Tutorial: Making green stuff press molds (part 2)

[LostCaseysLaw]

Nice tutorials, you should check out Oyumaru, you'd love it!

[Bilbottom]

How do you take the original object out of the mould without damaging both the object and the mould?

[CorvusMiniatures]

@Bilbottom yeah I know there is a part missing :(

I carefully removed the object with a sculpting tool. Since you applied the oil to the object it will come out very easily!

[Bilbottom]

@CorvusMiniatures Yeah, it worked! Thank you, you've been really helpful.

This doesn't seem to follow on from part one... what happened to removing the object from the mould?

[w0mblemania]

Is the flashing light levels intentional? I'm not prone to epileptic seizures, but, oh vey! ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the vid. Very interesting.

great vid :) been thinking for a while now if a process like this would work on duplicating imperial guard backpacks

[IRONBLOODxMECHANIQUE]

@taopaipai yes it can, I've done somethig similar to this to copy the cadian coms packs take and full the first base with greenstuff, then pres in the backpack half way.

take the back end of a paintbrush and punch in 2 or 3 "keys" to help with lining up the 2 parts once there cured.

let it completely cure.

then get a secon base and fill it with greenstuff

smash the second base full of greenstuff onto the allready cured part.

in a few hour seperate and pull out the backpack.

@IRONBLOODxMECHANIQUE  thx :)

oh btw good video man

[Bloodhunt101]

i know ya doing 40K but i was wander if this would work with warhammer fanstay shield?

there 2d but a bit around cause i'm making a high elf army and i want the ppl with shields have the same look with my own symbol in them to make them unique

[ALX753]

could this work for say, a helmet?

[CorvusMiniatures]

No, only flat, 2D objects can be molded with this technique. If you want to duplicate a 3D object you'll need two part molds or either a silicon mold.

[Kanvass1]

Great stuff mate.

[SpuseMaroon]

Great idea, it's really got me thinking. I suppose you could impression anything, like.... Rhino tracks in mud and stick em on a base? Thanks for the inspiration :)

[CorvusMiniatures]

Yeah but you might want to do that in Milliput or something, it's gonna be a bit expensive if you want to cover a big base with green stuff.

[GirlPainting]

verry verry nice :)

[2waterpots]

Very good tutorial. I could use that method for my Crimson Fists shoulderpatchs.
