Thread: need to make some molds for hands and feet

Tweet

I'm getting my wheels turning on how to make a prop that I've had in mind since last year but I need to know how to mold some hands and feet that look as real as possible. The ones I made on "Camilla" ( in my avatar) would be cost prohibitive for this next project as I need both this time. Any one have any suggestions for me? Lauriebeast or Terra????? I'd love to recreate something like your Vamipire of Terra or Bride of Frankenstein look.
I'm not sure I have the knack for molding clay but I am a bit of a perfectionist so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Just get some dental alginate, plaster bandages, and a helper. With the alginate (just follow the directions) you can take a flawless plaster castings of your feet and hands. Afrer your plaster masters are cast up you can make latex jacket molds off of them and make as many realistic hands and feet as you want.

i know a process that works very well but unfortunately i can not find my process photos. i have all materials so i will do a step by step this weekend and post it in the how to forum next week. but just so you can get familiar with the process look up the term "clay pour" on yourtube

Thanks for the updates. Can't wait to get started. The clocks ticking!
