Those are superb. What kind of material are you using for the originals? They have a terrific finish on them, very smooth.

Great work!

I concur! Great stuff...very clean! Is it castilene or just grey super sculpey?

Hi guys, thanks for the kudos

The monkey was done in super sculpey, baked, sanded and primered (grey).
The chick was done in plasticene(upper left pic), molded, cast in a special toymaker's wax (middle pic), cleaned and polished, re-molded and cast in resin.(final image)
The StrawberryShortcake stuff was done in the toymaker's wax.
The wax is totally awsome cause you can polish it up with a little steele wool, a t-shirt and lighter fluid.
I'm a pro toy maker so feel free to pick my brain if you'd like LOL.

I thought you might wanna see a closeup of how clean you can get the wax.
This piece was done MANY years ago.
Sculpted in wax, polished to perfection, molded, cast in resin, then vacuum metalized for that mirror finish.
Enjoy!

B,
You do some great work. Are these your concepts or the clients? Where do you get "Toy makers wax"? I would like to get some and play with it. Are you using silicone molds to cast from the originals?
