My first successful cast!

Alright, as some of you MAY know, I'm starting my own business casting custom parts, like Arealight and Wuzzupbob. I'm working on my first custom helmet for casting http://www.flickr.com/photos/sirtsaboc/3342269369/ and it is about 60% complete.
I bought my casting supplies a few days ago, and tried out a new kind of mold material. To test it out, I made a mold for arealight's clone visor, and casted it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sirtsaboc/3377369570/ a success. Now I can continue on to the helmet casting.

Tell me what you think!

I really like that helmet. . .Now I really want to get into casting.

I just hate how it takes so long to cure... 2 whole days... no wonder Arealight takes so long to restock. I don't blame him

Looks awesome!

Where did you get the supplies? And how much does it cost?

If anyone ever wanted a visor for an EFEC Kommando... you've got buisness! If your Clone Troopers don't sell, try the EndWar market !

Use Alumilite. It cures in a minute, and its what Wuzzupbob uses for Clone Army Customs.

And where can I get this stuff?

Yeah , where can I get that? But the first pic looks really good!

Sweet, thanks for that PD! Time to order!

Yup. Alumilite works really well too, but this one was epoxy resin that I got at Michael's crafts store. I like alumilite more, though.
I used this though, because it only costed my $10 for like 8 ounces of it.

Wow! I'm really liking the clone snow trooper helmet cast! I want to learn someday too!

That looks really nice Tsaboc! The helmet also looks cool!

So you bought all the stuff at Michaels? How much did it all cost and what do you need?

Back on topic.

It it looks very good. I like the snowtrooper helmet alot.The idea to use that AT-AT driver helmet was very smart.

It looks pretty good so far... keep it up!

(I Thought I'd bump this, as it's only three days since the last post.)

Two days? I have some Smooth-on resin that takes only thirty minutes to dry. And it's pretty cool stuff. I also would recommend Alumilite, though. Silicone moulds are the way to go.

And nice job on the cast! It looks awesome. As does the Snowtrooper helm. Seems like everyone's making one 'o them...
