Casting mold


Update about making the casting mold: I succeeded at least during the first trial so I am excited. I went for something simple as in the long run the character should be made of dough. Thus I thought that they feet weren't required but the upper body. I use bottle caps in which I put some apoxie (previously mixed). Then I needed a model (remember that I am not an artist so I needed physical models). To have the models (doctor, engineer, fireman and food-giver) I used the plastic miniatures that I modified a bit and then inserted them in the apoxie. Let them harden for 3 hours then removed them from the casting mold. The results can be seen in the picture.

Will post more updates soon

I,m glad you are enjoying the process. I took the liberty of sharpening the photo because it was not very clear. I like the earthy look and feel of the molds. Make sure you bring the Apoxie, your models and some caps to the class so we can make another run with some variations.

Any progress on the board or playing field (cloth or whatever it will be...)?
