So is this product good for making casts of action figure heads, weapons, etc; then using milliput or another sculpt to make a copy?

Yes, I have used it to make replacement parts for when I have lost arms for models. It is also reusable so your not stuck with a soldiers left arm mold forever. Just boil it again and your good to go.

Yes - you can make nice casts of items with good detail and then use another medium to build - I used green stuff myself. On point to mention - I tried this with resin plastics and the heat created by the plastic destroyed the mold - I did get a decent copy. I just melted the instant mold and used it again with no real harm. Very nice to those one off molds you may need.

Weapons get fiddly mostly because your going to be sandwich casting them. Which leads to lots of flashing and strange lines from you putty. Jot saying it can't be done but your Bette off RTV moulding and 2 part resin casting. You'll get better results. All that as side, for action figures 6"+ a one off copy it will do the job. &gt;1" ie wahammer/war machine/pathfinder models its going to be more effort trying to clean up a cloned part with out destroying the part.

Yes it is great for making copies, and the mold's material means that you don't need to use a non-sticking agent. But I should warn you that very fine details in faces and weapon can be lost in the copies. So this might not be ideal unless you are able to add small details later, or you are using this to make mass copies of rank and file models with are not front and center.

That's exactly how I use it and what I use it for. It's simple to use to say the least. I've used it for everything from making custom heads, weapons, even bodies for table top war games figures to making molds for custom parts for vehicles.

I don't have much experience with this product. I've only tried it once with poly clay pushed in the mold. It reproduces well, but isn't very strong and will tear if you're aggressive with it.

Depends on the scale and detail level. I've had okay luck making weapons for warhammer 40k but bodies and stuff look pretty crappy

Yes, I used this to make armor for some costumes. I used an iron to do it (place the foam between some newspaper on both sides for 10-15 seconds and shape how you want) it holds its shape pretty well

It's more than perfect for the job. I build models and have a friend that used it for doing some shirts. He liked it so much he got one for himself.

I've had no problem whether adding MS to Apoxie or cooked Super Sculpey or Sergent Art "Sculpt it!' (which shrinks horribly, so I never use for finishing). I have also used MS on cast resin sculptures of mine that I have modified to have different poses and musculature to make a herd and never had a problem there either.

I think you would be better served having the cam reproduced via 3D printer, as already noted. A small cam could be "handcrafted" from a larger item.

after your question, I went and tried to see if I can make art with it. it makes really thick foam if you know what you are doing. Yea it makes art I made a smiling face it came out ok for someone who is not artistic.

I think it would probably work well, it's not ultra thick, but did have nice stability. If you have any embossing/burning it should hold the design nicely. The price was pretty good, which is always a bonus when costuming.

That's true, but I do not believe that if you are trying to create the images with the sprocket holes being developed, that their product will work for that. So, I guess it depends on how you want the final product. I used styrofoam and it cost me nothing or you can use their product and it will cost you $12.

I love droids. It really depends on what you want to use it for? I agree with Ariel on the sculpt, paint job and articulation. If you have swap meets in your area, I might hold out for one to show up there.

To be honest, I was going to use it for a cosplay but, it's a bit small (big hands). Depending on who's using it and what the scene requires, it can be an okay prop. However, I'd day just go with something relatively bigger.

Yeah, the claws are ported on the pegs that can be used for SRC and figma figures.... however, I must warn you that this stand is rather weak, the pegs and extension rods crack and warp under pressure after a period of time. Some say it's because of the clear plastic material and that apparently the plastic used in the non transparent ones are a lot sturdier.

Yes I own one... the only Issue I had was with getting some of what I have built off of the build plate.. but then i came across 3D EeZ.. and now getting my items off is as easy as pie... and yes i do believe you can make an air-soft gun with this.. 3D Printers can usually make pressure bottles that can hold as much as 60PSI so it is all in your design

I used this for hollowing a long rectangular bowl...You have got to be careful, as it is an aggressive tool..but once you get the hang if it...it is really nice..made especially for sculpting..just practice first on scrap wood....then pull put the good stuff...

Im using it for my SIC figures, which are 8 inches and have die cast parts. So yeah, they woukd work well for the marvel figures if theyre just 6 inches. The tamashii stage act 5 may be a better choice though.

What do you mean with "after use". It's more of a collector's item, not really intended for play.Either way, SH Figuarts figures in general are put together in a way that there can be parts that come off if you play around too much, however it's always easy to re-attach.

I have used this on plastic pieces to make copies for lost/broken piece and it worked well. Now pouring in a plastic resin to make a part will not work if the plastic curing process is high head - like most. That will melt/distort the material as it is flexible at 160 degrees F. If making a copy with plastic parts I would recommend a silicone mold. If using something like green stuff - this would work well.

Hello, Ryan. This is a model kit that you have to build. If you are looking for a prebuilt action figure, I recommend The Robot Spirits line by Bandai.Thanks! ~Oryan
