hi i am planning on making a silicone baby and i was wondering if you had any kits what would be suitable ? thank you

@aidenn22 The Gel-10 starter kit is a good starting point. Sculpt your baby out of a block of Monster Clay, mold it with 1512 resin or 74-30 and cast away!

love these vids. I have a question, im doing a popeye short film and i want to make the arms out of latex or whatever is best, ive never done any of this before. how would you suggest me going about doing it?

[brickintheyard]

@VALENTINEproductions That is going to be a very complicated process if you are new to this. We have more complete info on our DVDs on the webstore. You might want to start with a lifecasting dvd.

That look AWESOME! X-D Where did you get the bones from? I'm looking to do something like this for Halloween. :-)

@TheSpeakingWolf These bones were cast into a silicone mold using R5 rigid foam. We may post a video on just that process.

thanks for the tip man and i will try a platsil gel 10 face in stead

[specialfxwiz87]

thanks i might make half of the head like just the fase

[brickintheyard]

@specialfxwiz87 Yes, you can, but it is tricky pouring something as large as a headcast full of silicone. Very risky.

hey i am going to get the starter kit but can you make a head cast and fill it with platsil gel 10 and make a fake head?
