PatW Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Whilst I'm waiting for a box of plastic cups to come to use in standard resin casting I thought I'd try a to master casting with resin plaster. The moulding medium for this is called Siligum which is a hand mix rubbery material, the blue is the mould and the white is the hardener. As I'm into beach/dune buggies I thought I would try some surfboards as I found a fridge magnet we bought from the Gold Coast in Australia. Plus a few seats I need for another scratchbuilding project. As I've just started printing my own decals, I've found a number of palm tree/beach scenes and I have some HellaFlush sticker bombs I'm going to try on the boards. The black high back seat is plastic from my spares box, the resin ones have had a very small amount of flash sanded off and the seatbelt holes opened up with a fine point file. The bomber seat needs cleaning up after casting. The moulds set in five minutes and the plaster is very fine and smooth and can be sanded if required and is set in an hour. Remember though that the plaster is a bit heavier than plastic or standard liquid type resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
