Dragons teath
Well with my exams finally over I can turn my attention to models again :P and I have a lot of ideas whirling around my head and I just have to get them out, so here is the first pieces.
I just need to add some texture and then they are ready to be moulded, yes moulded cause the my main idea was the dragon teeth in particular, but fast an easy terrain for casting, and since these pieces can easily be cast using a open mould they are ideal for the project.

Refinery table ( 7)
The first half of the moulds are done, and have been prep for the other half.
This is the first time I have used ordinary clay to make the "fake" half of the mould, used to use modelling clay(something like play-do), stopped using it since I experienced some problems with the silicone not hardening properly. And I must say the clay is great for the purpose, it is easy to remove from the silicon after since the clay is dissolved in water.
also most made a great mistake, nearly forgot to use the release agent on the mould, without it the silicone would fuse together and you would end up with a big lump of silicone, with some plastic in the middle.

An other update tonight be for I head to bed.
I Have finished the bends and made them ready for moulding.
I used this opportunity to make an other mould, since it is not that more work to tow moulds, when you are making one. And as you can probably guess from the back ground, I am going to make a mould of some oil drums, since I am pretty sure I am going to use a lot of them in this project.
And here is the silicone rubber I am using, it is from Slymasta and is the 370 grade rubber. It is easy to work with a since it is really flexible allows for undercuts making it perfect for model replication.
The keen observer might notice that there now are 3 mould, that is be cause I am not that good a estimating the amount of silicone need to make the mould, so I quickly found some other stuff I could use a mould of. It is going to be a 1 sided mould of some drums, to be used for sticking out of the ground ect.
And ps. don't say modelling isn't dangerous.
I cut my self trying to separate a drum from a old model, must have used a hole bottle of glue attaching it in the first place.
PPS.
having half you finger fixed is kinda crippling when modelling and writing.
