EU,
I'm sorry, I didnt see that pm from you. I must have missed it somehow.
Well, when I was selling all of these indivdually, I actually sold the ric olie and djas puhr. But as for the rest of this lot, I've actually already put it up on ebay since nobody seemed interested here in the rest. Here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6054759519&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1
If my lot doesnt sell on there, I will sell you all those geonosians no problem.
Again, I'm sorry about the mixup.

glassman, what size is the polytek easyflo 60 you show in that tutorial anyway? It looks big, but might not be.

I'll check that out! You meant smooth-cast 300, didnt you?
Does anyone use the CR-600 from micromark to cast?

If I can sell off the rest of my custom fodder, I'm gonna go with:
micromark
CR-600 Resin $28.55 for casts and
4 hour one-to-one $31.75 for molds
Does this sound like a good combo for doing 2 part molds? I figured I would have the right stuff to do one part molds as well.

In glassman's tutorial, he uses Smooth-Sil 920 from smoothon.com for one-piece molds ($26 for 16oz.).
For 2 piece molds, he uses micromark 4 hour one-to-one silicone rubber for the molds ($31.75 for 16oz.).
Glassman, have you ever used the smooth-sil to make your 2 piece mold instead of just the one piece mold? Its cheaper in price for the same amount, so I didnt know if maybe it wasnt quite as good. Thanks!

I cant remember if anyone answered this or not, but what was the drawbacks on that castin craft resin stuff anyways?
And one stupid question. Is resin just another term for liquid plastic? THanks!

just a thought, but it would be cool if people new to the challenges could do ones from the past and be put into the archives as well for display. Heck, even if you've already done one from several months ago and wanted to do another NOW, you could do it and have it posted. Kinda like how FFURG keeps up their archives of their custom challenges.

that is fantastic! What did you say you sculpted him from?
Also, I SOOO want to get into the whole casting stuff and was very interested to see that your piece looks to be all one piece right now. I know you just told us all what you intend to do, but I guess I'm a little lost. Do you first cut him all up and make molds of each limb, torso, and head? I guess I'm just too new to the whole process to fully understand right now.
Great work Ben!

you know, you could for ANY monthly challenge say it is 1 month, but still accept entries up to 2 months. This would allow for the people that are doing more complex customs to have time to do them. Just an idea.
