Little tip for fixing the shape of the mold. Don't use just rubber bands! They'll apply an uneven pressure on the mold use pieces of wood or any hard material on two sides of the mold and then apply the rubber bands, then you'll get an evern pressure on the mold which will result in no imperfections of deformed parts.
Good tip Adam
I use paper tape
Yup, even two piece of thick card - just to stop the elastic bands digging in or distorting the corners/edges.
I use duck tape.
Use any hard part. Thin wood, plexiglass, something that will not bend by rubber band.
Next on Plasmo; how to start your own scale model brand.
Lol😂
This is exactly why this is the Best Scale Model channel on TH-cam!
It's all of the little details he puts into each and ever model that makes it for me. 👍👍
Thank you Plasmo! This is one of the best tutorials on mold casting I have watched. You have me wanting to invest in a vacuum pump and start casting parts I have customized into parts that are not readily available. You always amaze and teach me something each time I watch your videos.
I have learnt something new. Thank you. I can now build my squadron of Spitfires from one Airfix kit.
This is what i need for my latest sculptures! Amazing as always!
You are truly the master! Been following your channel for a long time, but every time you manage to surprise me. Your videos were one of the major motivators to start building models, and I've learned much from them.
Excellent tutorial, and very timely for me, as I am trying to duplicate some plastic parts on an RC airplane. As always, thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this with us, I found it very easy to follow and very informative. I have some models I made that I want to cast and your video has given me everything I needed to know!
Finally! Now I have to buy some equipment! I followed also your last tutorial with blue stuff.
Same here
Plasmo, thanks a lot for this great tutorial!!! :)
As an injection mould engineer I must say that your drawings are good and understandable. And you did a nice job with the moulds!
Seen a number of videos about casting, but your`s is of a such high quality, thanks!
When you make 2 part silicone molds, try using acorn nuts to press locating pins in your clay. They are smooth and perfectly tapered so that they pull out cleanly and even if you use the water based separators they seem to very rarely, if ever, break. If you are still worried about breaking them, use the water based separators on everything else, and use some petroleum jelly on a cheap model paint brush to paint the jelly on just the locating pins before you pour your second layer.
I have had some items that required a 3 or 4 part mold to be able to get all the details and using the acorn nuts for locating pins has been the best way I've ever found to work.
Also, size the nuts you use to the size of the mold you are making. The larger the mold, the larger the acorn nut. Remember, you only need 1 acorn nut threaded on a 20-25mm long screw to press in all the locating pins in your clay. That way you can afford to have them ready in several sizes depending on your mold. You never want to have too small locating pins.
One last thing. If you have vacuumed your silicone, try pouring it in a very thin stream, starting in a corner of your mold, and allow it to rise up around the part, that way, if you use the fine stream, you don't get bubbles trapped, and you don't need to vacuum the mold after you have poured it. The stream size for the parts you showed casting should never be larger than 1.5-2mm in diameter.
I can't believe I found you right before I started collecting "Angry Space Soldiers", I saw you making molds for "Bugs" from 2016 talking about blue stuff by random luck. This is awesome.
well, now I have a plan what to do during summer :D Bless to you Plasmo...
Great video, I found it really informative. Looking forward to burning myself on the resin the first time I cast something.
So glad you made a video about diy resin parts. 👏👏. Thank u very much. Will definitely save this one.
one of the most helpful and amazing videos I have ever seen anywhere
Gotta say,always love your videos.
And thank you for these tutorial
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. I am not brave enough to try it myself but you never know.
Thanks for showing this. I requested such a video shortly. It is more work than I expected, but it's not so difficult.
Wonderful tutorial - I insert small hexagonal nuts into the plasticine to use as guide pins.
Your video is invaluable knowledge for me as I begin my model railroading adventure. Thank you!
You always amaze me with your skills.
The best mold making tutorial I've seen. Thanks !
Good job! Thanks for the instruction on duplicating plastic parts.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
David D is awsome!...for the folks that dislike, well there is no cure for their ailments...whatever they may be....model building requires creativity, enginuity and a lot of common sense....as well as reading the instructions for resin handling....this hobby is not for you if you don't have any sense for using gloves if you have sensitive skin....OTHERWISE....David D aks PLASMO is one of the Best and shares his thoughts, skills and knowledge. and lastly his artistry....WOOT
You are legend mate, you push limits. Keep up the good work
Amzing well made tutorial! Top quality!
Mr. Damek you are a very good teacher!!!
Thank very much, It was so well explained and I love your accent!
The results are amazing
This guy is like a younger slavic Bob Ross.

Спасибо Дэвид за идею создания дегазатора из кастрюли! Это именно то, чего у меня пока нет, но теперь я сделаю такой же и буду лить эпоксидную смолу и пластик без пузырьков!
@@user-wv6qi3mi1y Я в детстве, в классе шестом наверное, отливал солдатиков из аккумуляторного свинца в гипс, под впечатлением от прочтения книги "Кораблики и солдатики" Рюрика Попова, подаренной мне отцом. Но я даже не представляю, как дегазировать металл и нужно ли это? У меня в детстве солдатики проливались полностью, благодаря газоотводящим каналам на формочках.
Love your videos! Keep ‘em coming!
Really great vid! Will use process in the future! Would be interesting if you made a Revell (?) B-24. I think it would have room for a lot of extra detailing. But just food for thought. Again quite interesting and useful video! Keep up the good work.
excellent method, just ordered it- thank you.
Its fun learning how to make molds, easier with flat parts :)
I'm searching for a video like this to make things ;)
Thank you for the tutorial !
Thanks a lot. Will try this for my S-100.
He is now making his own materials, legend level
*A full lesson of molding by PLAMSO, cool! 👍 (careful, there is a king of indigo monster in a can which makes so much bubbles!?! 👾)*
Lol great change of pace 👍 interesting 🧐
great tips and thanks for sharing
Great tutorial, thank you.
Yeah, I will probably try to make some copies of my resin prints.
What Nuke Dukem said. Tin-cure silicone usually works better for copying printed resin parts.
Here's a video where someone experiments with casting copies of SLA resin models. Tin-cured work the best.

God Mode tutorial,thank for sharing.👍
Love it. Brilliant.
Thank you for this useful tutorial 👍
"It looks like some alien fluid" 😂 I never thought of that. but it does
Great video!
Great video, very informative!
Love ur videos from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Entertaining and informative!
Thank to this tutorial i am casting too! Still a lot to learn. But thank you so much
Highest level! Next must be making molds for high pressure plastic casting. Or how to make own decals?
Or just how to make own model brand :)
Great tutorial mate thanks! It's the wheels I'm needing to do for a build! This new airfix Cromwell the wheels are wrong so needing to cast my Tamiya ones for it in resin!
That was great, Thanks. Ron
Very interesting video PLASMO.
Hello from spain
Thanks for this, very interesting indeed 👍👍
Awesome tutorial!
Best tutorial but very expensive to do it. Only 4 minutes and the guy mentioned vacuum for perfect molding 🙃
Brilliant!
excellent video, greetings from Argentina
I regularly make silicone mould’s for fishing lures and use Lego to build my mould frames. The secret for making Lego frames is to carefully cover all the joins in plasticine. The silicone won’t leak out that way. Also, I use petroleum jelly as a mould release on the silicone when pouring the second half. Just brush it in VERY lightly.
Beautiful video thanks so much 👍
Good helpful video my friend 😊👍
Very cool tutorial
Very interesting process on how to make a Resin casting -Silicone Mold !!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your videos
Thanks man, this was extremely useful ☺️👍
This part does not have enough detail so i make new part myself
He's a madlad!
This was a great "how to". Any more information in this theme would be very helpful.
Congratulations! Much better than the result I've got on my video, were I failed on casting the small pieces and ended up cheating and printing stuff on my Elegoo Mars printer (^_^) and I do use lego blocks, it is more fun and I can use some hardware store silicone to seal the gaps.
Really nice video! Two things I found when casting are -
i/ 'Vaseline' - aka Petroleum Jelly, is an excellent release agent for making two part silicon moulds.
ii/ Dusting the inside of your moulds with Talcum Powder - aka Baby Powder [and removing any extra with a soft brush], before pouring casting resin is an excellent way of making sure even tiny details and mould cavities get filled perfectly, for best quality reproduction.
Silicone mold release with Teflon is about $12 a can, you can buy it from your local industrial supply or even Amazon. You get a much finer consistent layer without having to fight with the sticky petroleum jelly.
No one:
David: yeah, lets mix the silicone with a screwdriver!
great work 😀👍🏻
You can make a very good vacuum chamber using a common pressure cooker such as is used in canning fruit and vegetables. Just put the proper brass fittings on the lid and you are good to go. Very safe and easy to do.
Top man , knowledge is power
but without the clear lid it is harder to know when to stop the vacuum, isn't it?
You sound like you're talking about pressure pot, used when casting the resin to eliminate bubbles in resin. Vacuum chambers aren't made with pressure cookers generally
@@matt9736 No, but; they can be. I've done it. If it will hold pressure, it will hold a vacuum. The same principle applies. Pressure cookers are readily available and cheap. A small amount of effort turns it into a vacuum chamber.
awesome tutorial!
Excelent vídeo bro
Excellent!
Nice tutorial.
Good job.
Excellent explanation greetings👍
Excellent
Отлично! Ролик просто супер 👍👍👍🖐️
Nice done. For connecting parts to the spout can You use also double - sided tape. It is also easy way to do it. ;) All the best for You! ;)
Thanks a lot for your tutorial!!
Besides, could you show us how to cast a Tamiya soldier in 1/35 scale?
thank you ! for a lesson
Cool! Thanks friend!
Togohk was an ad on your channel showing compression moulding. Didn’t know that was a thing. Very fast by the look of it.
Thanks very helpful Peace.
Great vid!
Hi Plasmo, nice video and good explanation. I noticed you used a vacuum chamber to get rid of the bubbles in making the mold. However, there are some videos that recommend using a pressure pot to pressurize the resin in the mold for bubble free casting. However, I do not see you using a pressure pot for your casting. Bubbles will be created in the resin when the 2 parts of the resin are being mixed and stirring it will cause bubbles to form in the resin material; hence the need to use a pressure pot to get rid of the bubbles. Please advise should we use a pressure pot or vacuum chamber.
Thanks
2.Love your videos too
Excellent! I'm wondering if I can recast metal miniatures to make them easier to do conversions or pin together
Silicone rubber is great for casting low temperature metals like lead and pewter.
I used it once to recreate my grandfather's WW1 lead soldiers. I took the best ones of each of the different styles, and repaired what needed to be repaired with water based glue and plaster (that way I could return them to their original condition after making the molds using just some warm water and soap). I then melted lead and cast enough for a full set. The damaged ones, I used more plaster on the area so I could dress it down to look like it should have been, then I made a second mold of the fixed figures and cast new soldiers from those molds.
Then I spent several months painting the details on all of the soldiers and equipment.

Awesome, I wouldn’t have the patient or skill to do that.
That's why resin models are expensive
Exactly
This and the fact that usually they're not made in large amounts. They're easy to make, but require quite a lot of work.
