Casting a mold from an existing mold?

[bikeridetony]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking to cast a head from an existing figure's head.  Would Skulpy work?  What would be my best route?  Any tutorials?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

When in doubt, always check FFURG too...  There's usually a tutorial there listed on the site somewhere.

Here are the FFURG Casting Tutorials for you.

Personally...  Sculpey's not a good thing to work with as far as casting goes.  You're further ahead, if you want to start into this aspect of customizing, to get a starter kit from a company like smooth-on and try casting with RTV Rubber and a simple 2-part resin.  Not all resins are created equally, and some are quite a pain in the ass to work with...  Smooth-On's starter kit is cheap, simple to work with (2-part silicone rubber and 2-part resin), and where I started years ago.
