So I tried my hand at casting a figure from an old house.
I won the house a few weeks ago.

Here's my casting of one with a new paint job.

Spot on!! Looks great!!!
Is your paint that shiny or do you spray it with a clear coat? Looks really cool!

A little clear coat after.

Looks great, Steve.

Steve...

Did you use a mold release agent?...

What did you use to cast the piece?...

Great job, Steve!!!

notes on what I learned.

The choices a purely on that I found all at my local Micheals.

Once I get the mold making part down, I plan to try using water putty to cast. As It will make
each figure cost pennies.

Oh, I never said but the figure on the left was the original and the right the cast one.
Not sure if it was obvious.

Steve, it wasn't obvious and that's a good thing. I assumed the brighter paint job was the newer one though.

Yeap..
