I want to make accessories for sculpts sort of like extra 'kung fu grip' arms and 'kick butt' legs etc. How do we caste?

I need that one big ass casting tutorial thingie.

Well to cast a big ass you are first going to need a lot of resin. Everybody knows that :laugh:

You can build the outer box with LEGO, if that helps.

Or you can use transparent silicone and cast the parts in ONE silicone bloc. But the you'll need a vakuum chamber to get the air bubbles out.
Later you cut the silicone bloc apart with a X-ACTO Knife. Be carefull when cutting, not to damage the protoype sculpture inside.
