This is the first episode in my new series of model making techniques. I try and explain some of the skills I have developed over the past years of model making. In this episode you will see how to make cold cure silicone rubber moulds to cast parts in ‘pewter’ or ‘white metal’. Episode #2 will take you through the casting process.

Amazing Man! I learned how to make proper silicon molds with ur video. The advice of painting the figures first with silicon to avoid bubbles, cutting out the sprues afterwards and adding vents, helped me finally produce molds of quality. Thanks!
-
Great informative video! Good job. Showing and explaining why. Very useful. Thank you

Great tutorial Sera ! If I ever get the guts (or need) to cast I'll be coming here first !

That was fascinating

Having recently purchased the Alec Tiranti starter kit this video has great advice in overcoming some of the problems that I have found in the production of my first silicon moulds. One of them being fixing small parts back into the first part of the mould before pouring the second part. I assume that superglue does not bond with silicon which enables the master to be removed after the second part of the mould has cured? Look forward to episode two and how to then cast from the moulds!

Hi, can these be used for brass casting? I am looking for an alternative way for metal molds coz they are expensive, I am looking for 2 part mold made out of cheaper material but realiable enough for repeated casting..any one have any answers to this?
-
Thank you so much I’m about to start modelmaking, it was the air vents I was mostly worried about fearing it wouldn’t flow properly.
-
Do you have to spray, or brush anything on the legos to help make the mold release from them?
-
So I do something similar without legos and I have wooden guides but I use a palm sander on my work bench right after I pour and every 5 min for the first half hour and I get 0 bubbles and super clean details
