Help casting a head in resin

[StarFyre]

Hello,

I have what will be a demon head for Arandegrost. I need 3 of these.

But as i work on it, i realize that the way i've done it, it may not cast easily in a normal 2 part mold for resin.

What do people think? I was going to have the horns facing down, covered all the way basically and the rest of the head on the other side of the mold.

is there a better way to do it? Also, if someone thinks it won't work due to how it's done and it needs a more advanced method of casting, if anyone has that ability at home, could i send it to you, pay you for the materials, etc and then have you make the mold for me and send it all back?

here are current pics; almost done.

Regards,

Sanjay

I think a two part silicone mold with part line down the center of the head (cutting skull into left and right halves) should work. I would put the pouring hole at the nose so the resin flows down into the horns.

but won't the horns get stuck in the mold then since they angle out; they would be completely covered but not at an angle that i can pull them straight out? or am i missing something...

Unless the horns curve to make hooks or there are undercuts I am not seeing, even though they are angled the cast piece should just pop right out of the silicone.
