Description See, this is what I like to do... I sculpt stuff and then make it magically double! Why have only ONE Daring Do when I can make pieces for LOTS of Daring Dos, Does, Do-esse... How do you make a plural out of Daring Do?

Anyway, Adventure Pack tree #1 first cast is complete! I'm still setting up the mold for the pith helmet, so it'll be a couple more days before I have a full-out Adventure Pack ready.

I'm not going to be offering these right away. I need to check to see if Rainbow's molds are in decent enough shape to make some more castings-- basically because you can't make Daring Do without a Loyalty Kit. But once I get her helmet finished up and things figured out, I'll get a price point figured out and we'll see about getting a few of them out to the masses!

Oh yeah, and you can probably see what horrible things making the molds does to my original sculpts... The originals got thrashed while I was cutting open the mold... I'm going to have to keep one of the first casts as a "master" because, dang, I'm not going to be able to repair that!

Do you have any images of what a completed mold looks like? I'm an art history student so seeing all of these images of your process is making me geek out in a bookish way

I've got a sub-folder in my gallery for pictures of the mold and casting processes... [link]

The molds are the big silicone rubber blocks-- and you can also see the Lego boxes I built to pour them in, and how I set them up.

I really need to set aside some time to read more Agatha Christie... Classics like this are usually my thing-- I just don't ever make the time these days.

Yeah, it's never easy. Sometimes I get lucky and things come out pretty much unscathed, but it's pretty rare for them to survive without any damage.

Yeah, it's a shame to see all your hard work get messed up like that for the molds...but at least you can make many more to make up for it!

It still breaks my heart every time. At least I didn't spend two months on this one... From start to finish I only spent a week on Daring Do.
