Last updated 3/2020
English

What you'll learn

  • Make a mold of silicon rubber and resin with fiberglass
  • Create a rigid and durable piece of filled resin (without fiberglass)
  • Replicate small or medium-dimensional figures, be it an original sculpture or an object that you love
  • Understand three-dimensional shapes and undercuts (there is an explanatory pdf)
  • Use the resin correctly
  • Prepare the desired color of resin and make the figure of the color you prefer

    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.

Requirements

  • No knowledge of sculpture of any kind is necessary.
  • A VENTILATED space to work, since the materials used are chemical. A secluded space where you live is ideal (basement, rooftop or a studio)
  • Use of adequate protections: gloves and mask with filters
  • The materials we use are: release agent (soap or other, clay, silicone rubber, silicone diluent (optional, depends on the brand and quality) and its catalyst, silicone colors (optional), cups, wooden sticks, paintbrushes, gauze medical, Polyester resin (normal type or glass) and its catalyst, Fiberglass, Cabosil (resin additive), automotive paste, Lija (150 and 240), Thinner, Wire
  • TOOLS: Flat dental spatula, Drill, Mototul (optional), Brushes, Cutter, Screwdriver, Screws and nuts

Description

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!

Who this course is for:
