Casting moulds with Oyumaru
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 11:02 am
I've just started my next project, kitbashing a dark elf team out of the GW black corsairs and wyches box sets.
I have started sculpting a piece that will become the back of the torso for every position apart from the witches and the one token assassin. As it is going to needed multiple times I bought some oyumaru modelling clay. Making the mould itself was relatively straightforward but I forgot that green stuff doesn't file particularly well.
I think read somewhere online that people blend green stuff with other clays (milliput, I think) that make it easier for cleaning the excess away from the piece once cast.
Anyone had any experience doing something similar?
