Hey everybody! Here are photos from my molding process:<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1873.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1874.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1875.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1876.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />This is my rough little mock up for the casting process. The photos were taken after it was successfully demolded. There was very little damage, the most notable being the left ear.<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1813.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />The bust is fully sealed with acrylic spray, and mold release as I apply my print cote.<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1821.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> A nice detail shot of me using an air hose to release any air bubbles, and force in detail.<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1831.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> completed print cote.<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1854.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1857.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />A couple of the following layers.<img src=\"http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/manglermangrum/IMG_1878.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />The completed silicone mold. As you can see, I had some complications with my clay shim.
