hello. I don't know if this is the right section to post this kind of question. I want to cast some miniature parts because taking a GW pack just for these parts will be a money-hungry solution. I was watching videos on youtube on how to cast miniature parts and after seeing the usual ones(resin,rubber mold etc) and I came across with this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub70AU5RfmI I checked their product and if it is as good as they say then i could produce the parts i want easy and fast with multiple casting(using all the pieces the box contains). So my question to the forum is: Has anyone ever tried this stuff and if yes was it good or a junk-mold? |

I just tried it last week on a bat swarm and the result got was pretty good. Just don't forget to leave the green stuff in the mold until it's dried. |

I used it recently for the first time to make some hooves and lower legs for Rohan horses which had (unusually) broken off. I was reasonably happy with it for a first go, though I used milliput and I put a thin piece of wire in to make it easier to attach to the horse. I expect an experienced modeller could do a better job. The result was brittle, as would be expected. Is the green stuff actually any better than milliput from this point of view? I have never actually used it. |

I have used it mainly to make copies of shields. I press the shield into the instant mold, let it cool and remove it. Instant mold does a good job of recreating the details. I have also used it to copy custom bases and fur. I have done one arm of a ranger as an experiment as well. Green stuff or brown stuff work better than basic milliput. They are not as brittle. I have also used resin in the molds without a problem. But I used the "easy cast "slow curing resin. I have not tried any other yet. I Have also used plaster when doing bases- not great but it works as well. |

It works ok. It's doesn't hold a shape as well as silicon casting, but it's much easier to use. You get best results if you use Lego or something to make a form (a frame), squish the InstaMold in when it's soft, then put the object in to take the cast. This stops the mold itself from deforming. |
