StarWarsGeek custom casts

[starwarsgeek]

Until I make enough to pay for a new pressure pot LOL

 

[starwarsgeek]

Since I had to rebuild my pressure pot, I started making some videos for casting your own products. First one is the DIY Pressure Pot tutorial. Here I show you what you need to make your own pressure pot.

Next up, I'll be doing a video on prepping your pieces for molding, building the mold box, etc. and of course the actual casting of the parts.

Enjoy!!

Awesome, I've been needing a tutorial on how to make a pressure pot!

 

[starwarsgeek]

That replacement helmet arrive yet?

 

[fogger1138]

Not yet - I thought today, so hopefully tomorrow.

Part 2 of my "Moldmaking and Casting 101" video series is now live on YouTube:

[Meddatron]

Thanks bro. quite interested in watching these.

 

[Dark Horse]

This is great stuff. All too often casters hoard their techniques. It's great to see vids.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Ain't that the truth, lol. I'm just waiting for the secret mold police to start throwing bricks through my window with "Stop giving away our secrets!!" messages written on them.

 

[Dark Horse]

A vid of the Pyramid Head head being cast would be awesome haha.

 

[Tofujesse]

Now I can scrap my How To Video. I am sure a certain group will try to contact you.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Would that be the same guy who told you to ask permission to cast stuff?? LOL

 

[Tofujesse]

Would that be the same guy who told you to ask permission to cast stuff?? LOL

You know it.

 

[starwarsgeek]

LOL, he won't talk to me, I'm not scared. So how am I doing with my tutorial so far? I'm sure you probably do things very differently.

 

[Tofujesse]

It's good. Like you say in the vid we all have our own spin on things but I pretty much do it the same way except for the forms.

 

[starwarsgeek]

So... you don't use LEGOs?? LOL

 

[Tofujesse]

So... you don't use LEGOs?? LOL

LOL!....I am not that high speed yet.

[Falcone]

LOL!....I am not that high speed yet.

LEGOs make things so easy.

 

[daremo]

Great vids, man! I can tell you studied hard and were trained well.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Great vids, man! I can tell you studied hard and were trained well.

Well, studied hard - yes. Trained well? Maybe. I still feel like I have a lot to learn, and I feel like I'm constantly learning new tricks and techniques. I just figured I would start sharing some of that knowledge.

 

[Dark Horse]

Nice music during the speed up part lol

 

[starwarsgeek]

Tutorial part 4 is live:

[daremo]

Just watched it. Quite a few nice tips in there.

 

[Dark Horse]

Another great vid, mate. How are you getting on with the bits I sent?

Part 5 - the final part - is now live:

[starwarsgeek]

Another great vid, mate. How are you getting on with the bits I sent?

I actually have not started yet. I had some things to mold for my store before I get to yours, and I actually will probably need to buy more material for molds before I can make any more stuff... hopefully soon though. Do you need them back by any particular date?

 

[Dark Horse]

Ok mate no worries. I wanted to get a Shockwave custom together for my friend's birthday witch is the end of November, so that's plenty of time minus a week or so for shipping/ time to paint.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Painted pics of the canceled Target 3-pack Tony Stark head that I cast. I have all 3 of the heads from that pack (RDJ/Stark, Don Cheadle/Rhodey, and ScarJo/Black Widow) and will have them all in my store soon...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nice!...Now all we need is a mass produced suited figure

 

[starwarsgeek]

Yeah, that... I'm working on LOL

 

[K-Tiger]

We have one coming, just waiting for Hasbro to get off its fat fucking ass and ship it.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Man, that is a decent sculpt of RDJ. I'll have to look into the sculpt and why it was cancelled... Other than the fact that Hasbro always produces a bazillion versions of shit figures in the early waves, then either barely distributes or cancels the good stuff slated for later waves... :-\

 

[starwarsgeek]

Next batch of cast items being added to the store...

 

[starwarsgeek]

And a few more...

 

[starwarsgeek]

And a few 'Halloween' inspired casts, too...

 

[darthdre758]

Argh....must....get...pouch casts...

 

[Dropshipbob]

Nice!...Now all we need is a mass produced suited figure

One of the independent 1:18th outfitters has a suited figure for sale...I think it was vortiouscustomaccessories.com?

 

[starwarsgeek]

How could I forget the ladies?!? Here's some new female casts I did.

I also did this Mando helmet from SDS - it's bigger and better proportioned (IMO) than anything Hasbro has done. The rangefinder is a separate piece so you can a) not add it, b) glue it in place on either side, or c) drill a hole and make it moveable on either side you want.
