stsullivan13 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hey everyone. Just because it is how I am. i love working with my hands and learning all i can. I also like to make things from scratch although it can be challenging at times. How can I make molds to make my trooper armor? what Material should I use when casting them?

TrooperTim Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 It's great if you have the skills to make molds and vac form your own armor. It's an art, and there are some extremely talented people out there. Explore the RPF forum as well if you're into creating these types of things. I generally recommend purchasing a kit - since it's cheaper, faster, and more convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) You can make your masters out of almost anything you can get the shapes from (less someone elses armor lol) Like was mentioned above Foam with bondo or plaster over it or somehting similar. If the materials cant withstand the vac-forming, you can make molds of them and cast the masters in resin. Alumilite makes a resin specifically for this purpose.
