Tutorial: Making green stuff press molds (part 2)

In this second part the green stuff is removed from the mold, cleaned, cut and glued onto a Space Marine Terminator shoulder pad.

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!

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.

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.

[LostCaseysLaw]

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

[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.

@IRONBLOODxMECHANIQUE thx :)

[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.

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