very good chewie!
I wish they'd make a regular version of the red palpatine and the yoda fight version.

I just started on mine.  Do we HAVE to have them done by the end of the month or can they be posted after?

Silicone window caulk?  Did you use that as an alternative for your molds?

Yeah, I kinda hada  feeling that the plaster wasnt worth a poo, but I already had it and was curious.  SO, naturally I indulged myself and ended up nearly encasing a corps! figure in carbonite of paris! 

I'll look at the other brands for the stuff, but I have done this a little and so far what I'd said is the cheapest I think.  I'm kinda wanting to go the more cheaper route right now, until I'm better at it.  Then I can get picky with it. 

Thanks for all your help!  I needed to hear this.  Thanks!

Since I'm following Glassman's tutorial on the other site, I went to the different sites and here is what I came up with:

For one piece molds
smooth-sil 920  $26 for 1 pint trial size (1 pint part a, 1 pint part b) at smoothon.com

For two piece molds
4 hour one-to-one silicone rubber   $31.75 for 16 oz. at micromark.com

For two piece mold (cast)
Polytek easyflo 60    $43.35 at polytek.com (I'm not sure on the size here.  Looked like a gallon maybe?)
or
smooth cast 45D, 60D    $23 for 1 pint of A and B at smoothon.com


So far, I like the 4 hour one-to-one for $31.75 for the molds and the polytek easyflo 60 liquid plastic for casting at $43.35.  About how long would something like this last if all you did were make arms, legs, torsos, heads?  I mean, would I be able to make a lot from this?

Thanks for all you alls help!

This may be a lot of help to you all making the Rattatak gladiators from the cartoons:

Ben: excellent!  Man, you actually scratch make those!?  I gotta ask though, do you cut the legs and arms off and articulate them or is it gonna be one piece?

BrentS: I used to customize wwe figures and that looks really good!  I thought about using a wrestler for a base as well. 


I'm kinda busy tryin to get the casting and molding thing down, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this month yet.

thank you all SO much for paypaling me the money so quickly!  I am just in need of clone hunter's, Roron Carob's, and BrentS's and I will have all the payments (I believe). 
I will need all of you to bear with me though, as my vehicle is in the shop right now.  I should have it by the end of the week though so I can mail your packages out.  I hauled a bunch of furniture about 100 miles this weekend using a trailer and my vehicle petered out on me afterwards.  SO, just please be patient with me.

Thank you!!

On the flip side, I've never boiled and always cook it! 
I have an article about making your own oven using a cardboard box that may help you here.
