Using legos as a mold frame thingy?! Genius!! ::chef’s kiss::
I've seen so many videos where they use lego. Its just another use for it lol
Love this video. One thing not really mentioned / kind of skipped over is that the little ball of clay under the figure doubles as both a way to keep the figure up and also a pouring spout for your resin! From what I heard a good rule of thumb for placing this spout (smaller vents are also called a sprue) is to put it in a spot people wouldnt notice like where the figure touches the ground or the back of the figure. Here the fig is facing forward and you dont really see the back, so the pour spout is in a great spot while keeping the figure level enough to pour your resin in without bubbles or gaps. Try to position your model in a way where gravity will hit the detailed spots most and any issues that could come up will hit places like feet or under legs, that you can easily clean up. Remember that having overspill or two much material is way better than not having enough/ big gaps in your pour.
thank you for your comment! the back of the figure is flat as it is designed to stand against the wall so it's very easy to sand it down, the pouring hole is big enough for this figure with no overhang so no vents required.
Definitely this! I didn't want to do the two-piece mold route so this helps me skip a couple steps with the clay.
Brilliant tips, thank you so very much. I had no idea about the use of the clay. This has been a great help xx
This was an absolutely brilliant tutorial. Thank you so much. I love the three little guys looking intently at the turd! Great video x
OOOOOOHHH, so THIS is how people make the custom lps molds. EPIC!
OMG I WAS HERE FOR LPS TOO
@@brokenrobot2004 YESYES OMGG EDHUEHDUED
Awesome little process/tutorial vid. Thank you!!
Thank you. Thank you so very much. This was simple and easy to watch and I am confident in the project I am working on now 💕

Thanks for sharing this, it's great! Pam
glad that you like the video
Super, excellent, Marvellous
this was awesome to watch. Recently interviewed Xelephant and saw his vinyl toy collection. He will have his own son too!
Wow, Es el molde 3D mas practico y facil que he visto. Estoy encantada!!!
Great video you made it look super easy

Nice work. Great job.

😎😎
Damn. That's awesome!
wow amazing video enjoyed watching it very much thanks for posting
Thanks for watching
Awesome thank you 😊
Awesome thank you!
Great Job! Did you bake it? And any recommendations on a suitable coloring material/type of paint for the resin? Thanks a lot!
nope, the epoxy cures by room temperature
Instead of legos could i use a square soap mold instead for molding a lps?
me gusta su tutorial saludos desde Honduras
gracias
Can This Procedure be Done with Polycarbonate as The Casting Material. If So how would I Get IT To A Liquid State for Pouring into The Mold ???
Wat are u using for the white base is it polystyrene?
@MalaysiaClayArt can you color the figuring afterwards(like multiple colors) or is the medium not meant for that?
you can , with paint that can stick to plastic, or a coat of primer before coloring
Amazing thank you !!!
Thank you too!
What's everything I need to get? The materials n such
Can I use a candle as a figure to make the mould
Any tips on how to avoid bubbles inside of the mold? Or is this primarily done by mixing the resin so there are as little bubbles as possible? Thanks! I love this video!
Easiest way is to pressure cast
can you paint onto the resin when set? If so would acrylic work and do you need to set that with anything? Thanks for the video! :)
you can prime with before you paint
That's so cool!! I want to make a Jiggy from Banjo Kazooie like this but make it so the object is at lease a foot long with goldish resin. Can you give me advice how to make one that big. It be such a cool idea
gotta make sure how much you can pour/mix (thickness) the resin you are using to avoid overheating
i did a mix of AB 1:1 ratio but the mold was like rock hard
Awesome thanks. Any tips on painting?
you can paint directly on it , if you are making something with high gloss, you can sand it with sand paper, then paint it with acrylic then add another layer of epoxy resin to return the high gloss
@@MalaysiaClayArt painting on plastic never seems to have good adhesion. What type of paints do toy makers use that stick so well?
Now i can clone my clones
Thanks really useful, all the best to you. Anyway what kind of silicon rubber and resin do you use? Wish u reply me to help more
in this video we use plat cure silicone
Superfun!
Do you think this method is good for stop motion puppets? Is there any resin or something that is bendable?
arent you interested in a hard-ish silicon?
How do you deal with the extra 'bulb' on back of the body (due to the casting)...?
Sand it with sand paper
We’re can I buy the silacone
Can u let me know which chemical u have been used in A n B mold
I wondered the same thing. There's a link in the description. www.malaysiaclayart.com/collections/mold-maker-epoxy-resin
Plz tell me AB foxy name
can you explain me how to make a lego minifigure?
Very nice, liked and subscribed
Big thanks
Who is that adorable little bald character?
got it from 'mysterious' toy box in Japan. Got no idea who he is :X
@@MalaysiaClayArt Question ,so all ur copies have a lump at the back because of the clay u used to make the hole?
@@grlsrfrfggs nope, even if there is , you can chop it off and sand+polish it
Can you paint over the finished resin figures?
yes you can
Whaty resins did you use? What mold maker you used? where to buy?
-kid from Singapore
you can get them all from malaysiaclayart.com yep we ships to singapore

Do we need mold release material? Is it must?
not really, depends on the surface that you work with. epoxy and silicone does not require releasing agent
hi! i'm making copies of a 6" toy, will there be any bubbles forming in the resin while it cures? how do i avoid it? thanks!
plan your venting , better if you pressure cast
mind sharing the ratio for making the cast? thanks
different brand has different ratio, stick to the instruction on your product
Hi, how do you remove the air bubble from the resin?
easy way is to use a pressure chamber
do not shake before you use epoxy resin
Hello! Great video with simple and clear instructions on how to make a mold. Just a few questions, are the AB mold maker and the epoxy resin toxic? do you have to wear a mask or glove to do that? and when cast with the epoxy resin, how do you get rid of the hold/space created by the polymer clay? Thanks!
hardener of epoxy resin can be harmful, however once it is fully cured, it is non toxic
It cannot be broke ?
It won't break easily
Only use epoxy Resin for duplicate? Or another polymer clay can use for duplicate?
You can
Did u paint this also? What paint u used?
nope, only by adding colorant
Can you tell me the exact name of the mold making epoxy material/kit and the exact name of the clear AB epoxy kit you used for the first figure you made in the video? I would like to buy it today…of your site.
Do you ship to US?
Unfortunately we don't ship to USA sorry!
how with detiled character ? can it work?
yes
Serious question. Could you copy something and make it into a water pipe?
with the correct material and method, you can copy anything
what type of resin do u use?
epoxy resin
I have a question: the figure in the video is well rounded but does anyone know if you have to use different techniques for figures with spikes or edges such as a miniature fish or crocodile? I imagine removing that from the mold might be more difficult without damaging it. Thank you in advance!
Hi Adam, if cut mold doesn't work then you can try multiple parts mold.
@@MalaysiaClayArt Thanks!
Hello! How can i make the produced toy to be very hard or less hard?
use different hardness of resin
so I have a bunch of Gijoe figures I want to cast with multiple points of articulation. they have o-rings in the middle and T-hooks. do I have to mold each piece seperately?
yep guess you'll have to do that
@@MalaysiaClayArt this figure sells for $100 each on ebay. www.yojoe.com/action/86/bat.shtml. so this is the one I want to duplicate. my friends would be very happy if I can make a bunch of these and sell them for a fraction of the price on ebay. vintage Gijoe prices have gotten crazy stupid.
@@dean4125 probably not , watch out for copyright infringement
@@MalaysiaClayArt lol it's not copyright infringement there's a lot of people who cast figures and even sell them. Black Major. red laser are the 2 big names they just rename them different names.
@@dean4125
That would be bootleging.
The lego bricks are a great way to create a barrier.
Like you don’t even know I was doing the “cardboard and hot glue” frame method and it was a bit of a nightmare 😅 thanks
this words too maybe a thicker cardboard
Agreed seeing people use clay has been an eye opener.
Hi :) can I clone a Barbie head keeping it as soft as original?
you can, gotta use the right material
@@MalaysiaClayArt thank you :) what material do you suggest? I was looking your site to buy A and B from this vid but they are sold out, are you going to sell them again?
But what material was used to make the mold?
plat cure silicone mold maker
where can we buy your product, those chemicals.
www.malaysiaclayart.com only ships within malaysia at the time being
4:37 they all look at Poop! HAHA
😎😎😎😎
Can we us this for papaer toys too
maybe not
Turn the music up louder since it adds so much to the video.
can this for work for lego
sure
Was the clay turd necessary?
you can use any other medium such as rtv silicone , hot glue etc. just to prevent leakage
Malaysia Clay Art No, I meant, at the end of the video, was it necessary to make a 💩 with the clay
@@juanez8 lol just trying to add some fun
if using gram , how much is 1:1???
do you mean how many gram used to cast this ? not much.
Question about the orange amber clone old guy,what pigment did you use for achieving that colour and in what proportion??Im trying to clone a airsoft pistol grips to look like amber. Thanks a lot
hi there, we used copper pearl powder pigment
@@MalaysiaClayArt thank you so much ;)
could you do this with legos?
why not
hi, is it possible to mirror / reverse the clone
once the silicone mold maker is cured you won't be able to melt it again. is that what you mean ?
@@MalaysiaClayArt No. He means if u have a guy raising his left hand can u make it so the new figure is if looking in a mirror so the right hand is actually raised on the new figure..
An idea, how to duplicate resin models? They shouldn't get warm.
silicone does not produce any heat
Show and explain ingredients pls
check description
looks like the lightbulb is suggesting me how to make money such as this!
you should cut the mold in zig zag pattern.....facepalm....you should know coz u sell this kind of stuff.......
Cut nails to avoid creep(age)🤣
that music was hella annoying ngl
