Learn how to mold and cast a resin human figure and apply the technique to complete a finished sculpture piece.
Identify materials for resin molding: silicone with its catalyst and two polyester resins. Use fiberglass, pigments, release agents, seal the figure, and wear gloves and a mask.
THIS VIDEO IS FROM MY CLASS “Learn the secrets of fiberglass-silicon molds and sculptures“
BUT EXPLAIN QUITE WELL (TOGETHER WITH THE PDF ATTACHED) THE CONCEPT OF UNDERCUTS
The concept of UNDERCUTS is the complex and UNDERCUTS vary a lot from piece to piece, so you have to be very careful.
Surround the sculpture with a clay wall to form the frontal mold, check for no spaces, and align the arms, legs, and head for a silicone mold.
Master the two halves of the mold and a key technique using clay walls with small pieces; silicone forms the female key, while the second pour shapes the main part.

Learn to mix the catalyst with silicone, apply a second coat, and cover it with the goals to ensure adhesion and avoid air bubbles in a resin figure mold.
Apply a second dry silicone layer, use thinner to remove silicone from the brush, then mix resin with catalyst to speed curing and coat the shell with resin and fiberglass.
Remove the clay wall to free the first half and reveal the silicone mold. Pour resin through the upper opening, vent air bubbles, and seal with soap or Vaseline.
Apply silicone in thin coats with a catalyst using a brush, preserving the keys, and support the mold with a Santley. Dry, then apply the second and third coats.
Build a fiberglass shell mold by applying thin resin on silicone, painting resin over the body to bind fiber, and wait for cure before drilling screws.

Cast a human figure in resin by preparing the mold with release agents, applying gelcoat, mixing resin with catalyst, closing the mold, and using a compressor to reduce air bubbles.
Learn to cast a resin hand by aligning two mold halves, applying a catalyst, ensuring resin penetration, and holding the pieces in a vertical position to let bubbles come off.

Learn how to mix resin with catalyst, apply repairs to a human-figure sculpture, fill gaps, monitor quick 15-minute cures, prepare additional batches, and sand once the material dries.
Master resin sculpture techniques for the human figure by drilling arms, inserting wire for reinforcement, applying paste and glue, sanding, and securing joints before painting.

Start with a flat background using an old painting technique, let it dry completely, then build up with layered colors, waiting between layers to pick the tones for each piece.
Identify painting materials for resin pieces, including linseed oil, thinners or solvents, and an optional varnish. Wear latex gloves and avoid nail polish, soft brushes, sponges, or fabric for cleaning.
Master color theory basics, including primary colors red, yellow, and blue, and how mixing yields secondary colors. Use white to create lighter tints and understand complementary colors for painting.
Mix a skin tone from white, red, yellow, and brown, apply in two thin layers with oil for smooth coverage, then paint the hat with blue and green.
Paint a head 2 demonstrates applying a second layer to build shadows and facial features, blending red, brown, and skin tones with drier and linseed oil using brushes and sponge.
Silicone Molding and Human Figure Replication Course
Create perfect and solid copies of your original sculptures using traditional techniques!
In this course, you will learn how to create silicone molds and make perfect replicas of your original anatomical pieces using the solid resin casting process. This technique is especially useful for creating bronze sculptures and other materials, and is perfect for replicating detailed pieces in various disciplines such as traditional sculpture, art toys, and the lost wax technique for bronze casting.
What you will learn in this course:
Silicone Molding Technique:
I will guide you step-by-step in creating silicone molds using rubber and resin shell with fiberglass, ensuring a perfect replica of your original sculpture.
Solid Resin Casting:
You will learn how to cast solid resin to obtain exact copies of your pieces. This process can be repeated as many times as you want, creating multiple identical replicas of your original piece.
Replicating Pieces from Different Materials:
From sculptures made of plasticine, clay, epoxy, ceramics, to rigid materials, you will be able to replicate any type of piece and create works of art that you can modify, customize, and display.
Applications in Various Fields:
Traditional Sculpture:
Create more than one piece from an original model. Final pieces can be made from solid resin, resin with fiberglass, plaster, cement, or any other material.
Lost Wax Technique for Bronze:
Using this same mold, you can create wax models that will later be used in the bronze casting process (soon, a demonstration video on this process will be available).
Art Toys:
The technique is ideal for creating identical models that you can personalize and modify.
This course is perfect for:
Sculptors and artists who want to create exact reproductions of their works.
Art Toy creators who want to replicate their models for customization and sale.
Artists interested in bronze casting and creating pieces from various materials.
People interested in learning traditional molding techniques with a detailed and practical structure.
Materials and Tools:
I will show you the most suitable and professional materials for creating these molds and replicas effectively, with a high-quality finish. The process is clear and simple, allowing you to create your own piece from the very start.
Differences from the "Silicone Molds and Replicas in Fiberglass" Course:
Molds and Keys:
In this course, you will learn different types of mold keys and the use of silicone that is the same width as the resin, instead of the mold keys and silicone contained in the resin from the other course.
Solid vs Hollow Pieces:
This course focuses on creating solid pieces, ideal for small sculptures, while the other course is focused on hollow pieces (lightweight), suitable for large objects like lamps.
Complementary to Other Modeling Courses:
This course is the perfect complement to modeling courses. If you have already taken the "Learn the Secrets of Professional Sculpture and Modeling" or "Learn the Secrets of Sculpting the Male Human Figure" courses, this course will help you take your sculpting skills to a new level by teaching you how to replicate and multiply your creations efficiently.
30-Day Guarantee!
If you are not completely satisfied with the course, you can take advantage of our 30-day refund guarantee, no questions asked.
Don’t miss the opportunity to master a professional technique that will allow you to create perfect replicas and multiply your work with ease!
