1/6 Scale Head Sculpts - FAL5E - 08-01-2009
idk if anyone can lead me in the right direction but if I want to start making 1/6 scale heads that fit on bodies such as sideshow and hot toys, etc am i better off making it with super sculpey or resin? i have super sculpey but it seems once you design something you would have to duplicate it by hand --if i was to use resin i can make a caste and make a few molds of it (idk if i am correct on this but this is what it seems while reading about it)if resin is the way to go where is my best bet on getting a kit for this i know nothing about it, thanks for help!

you seem to be putting the wagon ahead of the horses..to start with resin and silicone molds are not for beginners.get yourself a box of super sculpy, great for small pieces.better yet, get yourself one block of roma #3 or 4 also great for small stuff, but with roma you can re-use over and over.you can also use rome with silicone as long as you seal your sculpt with a matte finish acrylic sealer.Good luck green horn...................... <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />

bake your "head" at a very temp till its nice and rigid. not really sure if the headwill hold up over time, may get a case of the hair line cracks desease....practice makes "perfect" or close anyway.goodluck.
