| Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask (and I'm not sure if this topic already existed) but I was wondering how you make copies of custom figures. And mostly how you make the mold. Ad a few photos if possible! _________________ [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Anne-Joke [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ajs.artistry - Instagram AJs Artistry Shop - Etsy |

| nobody? I saw the video of how bullyland made copies of the polar bear... can you make a mold with gesso/plaster (gips)? _________________ [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Anne-Joke [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ajs.artistry - Instagram AJs Artistry Shop - Etsy |

| I can tell you from my experience - if figure is small and is made from plastic, you can try this: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]It is used by dentists to make a mold of you teeth :) It is cheap and available in shops for dental technicians. But it is only for one copy maybe. I've also used plaster to fill it. I'm actually waiting for silicone to make molds, you can make from it up to 30 copies and I will also use plaster in this case :) |

I made a figure with wax, but because I can't paint it (and keep it in good condition) I thought that maybe I could make a copy _________________ [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Anne-Joke [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ajs.artistry - Instagram AJs Artistry Shop - Etsy |
