First Lego Helmet Casting.

Finally got the kinks worked out of my helmet casting. My first mold was too complicated and trapped air to much. Only after I spent a week working on that mold did I bother to look on the net for a tutorial and found this amazingly helpful one on the Minifig Customization Network.

I just followed that how to and used materials I was familiar with. For the mold i used Smooth On Dragon Skin Q though if I was to buy the material again I would have picked Oomoo 25. For casting I used Smooth Cast 300. I had a bit of trouble with a few early batches not setting up right when casting but I think I had some residue in my recycled mochi cups that I was mixing in stopping the compound from setting properly.

So now that I can make helmet dupes my next step is to model my own and cast them. I cant wait :)
