you're so right about the pigment a little goes a long way and I've also noticed when using one color that putting a bunch in doesn't always make it any darker than if you use a little. I need to try that Silplastic. Those really turned out great Steve.
Yeah true about adding too much pigment, also if you keep adding more it can eventually ruin the integrity of the urethane and even inhibit the cure! Silplastic is awesome, it’s a pretty typical fast cast urethane but it has a little longer working time, about 5 min, which allows me to get it into my pressure pot when I’m pressure casting. Also it has a little flex to it making it less brittle than some casting resins. Thanks so much you guys, hope all is well with you! Cheers😄🎃👍
Thanks so much David, it’s great to hear from you! How’s your horror collection going, any new cool masks or props you’ve acquired lately!? Hope all is well buddy! 😄🎃👍
Thanks brother, glad you are digging this series, there is sooooo much more to come too! But yeah this is a great way to cast props when you need them to be a little more light weight, cuz solid resin can be heavy! 😜👍🎃
Dude! That’s incredible! Seriously, these are already so much cooler than anything you’d see in stores! 🤯 If you ever start selling these, I’ll be first in line. Also, when are you going to get your own Netflix show making stuff like this? Let’s start making phone calls!!!
Haha well thanks so much buddy, you are too kind! A Netflix show, hmmm, I think for everyone’s sake I should stay behind the camera, didn’t you see my cow video hahaha!! 🤣🤣🤪🛸🐄👽
Amazing, Steve!!🤩🙀As long as it's the correct gauge, aluminum,etc. is there a certain brand/manufacturer of armature wire that you prefer? Hey, I think I think I'm going to have to start small with my sculpting. Maybe a potato, or a donut, or even a...donut hole!🤪😅✌Thanks for another inspiring video!
Thanks again so much Fraidy! Haha a potato, how about that mashed potato Devil’s tower!!?? So no specific brand for armature wire, I usually get mine from a small mom n pop FX shop here where I live called Motion Picture FX Company because I love to support them. But you can get different size spools of it even on Amazon too. Yeah just make sure you get a gauge that will work well for your project! Not sure what the correct gauge would be for a donut hole or potato though, haha! Seriously though maybe you should start with a simple lil alien head sculpt, it would be right up your alley and pretty basic, and you could always make it an alien potato if you want! 🤣🤪👍
@@GrimwoodHollow Yeah! The mashed potato Devil's Tower!!🤣🤣I'd have to sculpt the potatoes, then boil 'em, and mash 'em, and then...FINALLY.... Ok, never mind. I like your alien head idea a thousand times better!😅🙌
I usually slap my hand over the mold hole to distribute powder or mica evenly lol. They came out smooth! Is the Foam 3 rigid or any little bit squishy? I totally save my foam off cuts as filler for bigger pours. They look great! Looking forward to the body video!
Thanks so much brother! Yeah the Foam-It 3 is a super rigid polyurethane foam, no squish at all! The 3 stands for 3 pound density and it expands over 18 times the volume, but it is super strong! A little really goes a looooong way with this stuff! It’s not a self skinning foam though so probably just best for filler! I feel like Smooth-On foams can be hit n miss, I’ve had some issues with their foams before, especially their soft polyfoams. But this stuff was great! Thanks again bud!😄👍🎃
Thanks again AllieKate, glad you liked it! This is a rigid polyurethane foam product, when you mix part A and part B together it causes a chemical reaction resulting in rising foam. There are many different types and densities, this was a 3 pound density and it expands over 18 times the volume of the material you weigh out! It’s pretty awesome! Thanks again! 😄🎃👍
This channel is underrated. I try to let y'all know when I can. For the amount of content and expertise you share, I for one appreciate it. I was just thinking about the haunt and wanted to see what projects are going on. Happy Summerween! 🧡❤️🔥❤️🩹🎃💎
Hey my friend, Happy Summerween to you too! And thank you again for all of your support over the years, I really appreciate it so much! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope all is well with you! Cheers😄🎃👍
@@putthemintheironmaiden6328 Hey buddy everyone has to start somewhere, and I think it’s awesome your are taking that first leap! Just go for it and have fun, that’s what it’s all about! And the more you do it the better you’ll get, it’s all about practice and gaining experience! It’s sometimes very helpful to look back on your early sculptures and critique your own work, you will see your progress and how you’ve grown as an artist! So definitely make sure you take some photos or video, even if you don’t post it! Have fun!😄🎃👍
This is an amazing video! Cant wait for the next one!! Also, I FINALLY got around to creating my FIRST sculpture! It’s on my channel, could you check it out and tell me what you think?
Thanks so much buddy, I’m so glad you are liking this series of videos! And that’s awesome you started sculpting, so exciting, I am going to go check it out right now! Thanks again!😄🎃👍
I just don’t get tired of looking at these darling little creatures 💚
Haha well thank you again MrsC B! There’s still soooo much more to come! Cheers😄👍
Love these, so cool 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks again buddy, this has been a fun series to do for sure! And there is sooooo much more still to come! Cheers😄👍

You know I had to tell you how much I’m loving this series and those imps!
Thanks so much David, it’s great to hear from you! How’s your horror collection going, any new cool masks or props you’ve acquired lately!? Hope all is well buddy! 😄🎃👍
That was so awesome Steve that urethane really captures the details and gives it a nice skin. I am loving this process and cannot wait to see more!!
Thanks brother, glad you are digging this series, there is sooooo much more to come too! But yeah this is a great way to cast props when you need them to be a little more light weight, cuz solid resin can be heavy! 😜👍🎃
They look awesome! Can't wait for part 4
Thank you so much Yora, we are so glad you’re enjoying these! Part 4 should be up this weekend!😄🎃👍
@@GrimwoodHollow Oooh nice!
@4:19...So scary!

I really enjoyed watching you cast your Pumpkin Imps! 🙂
One question; When you were mixing the foaming solution, what causes rising foam to form? 🤔
Thanks again AllieKate, glad you liked it! This is a rigid polyurethane foam product, when you mix part A and part B together it causes a chemical reaction resulting in rising foam. There are many different types and densities, this was a 3 pound density and it expands over 18 times the volume of the material you weigh out! It’s pretty awesome! Thanks again! 😄🎃👍

Can I buy one yet? Lol.
Haha, I’m sorry my friend! Who knows maybe one day, you never know?! Thanks again so much! 😄🎃👍
@@GrimwoodHollow I’m sculpting my own stuff now, I’ll see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

@@GrimwoodHollow I might put a video up if it turns out worthy enough to share 😂. I’m no sculptor but Im going to give it try.
