Now, now, casting parts of miniatures is stealing and stealing, even from Games Workshop is wrong



[size=-2]However, get some milliput and mix it together. Press half of the head you want into the milliput and let it set. Then mix up some more milliput and press it over the half thats left until the head is completely covered. Wait for it to cure and prise the two halves appart. Then put a blob of Greenstuff inside the mould and press together. Let it cure and trim off the flash and there you go.[/size]

You didnt read anything...

ive made the mould lol it looks like it will work i just got to get a lighter so i can melt some old sprue down into the mould:twisted:

Is it any more or less immoral that file sharing, making photocopies or saving picts to ye olde harde drive? If it\'s for personal use, who will know? I wouldn\'t put pictures of anything with copied casts online anywhere. Here\'s a link on a commercial site, that has good step by step info on mould making.

Right you are. I\'m not advocating one way or the other on this one. I personally don\'t care; but I love to read those threads. Like the one with the Predator-esque minis. Great stuff. :bouncy:

GW have posted a \"how to\" on making press moulds. As long as it\'s for personal use they don\'t seem to have an issue.
