Hmm, you have a good point...

Really impressive...Especially as it's a first attempt. 

I keep meaning to have a go with Beesputty (that's the one that has to be 'cooked', isn't it ?).....But I'll probably stick with Greenstuff and ProCreate, for the time being.

Thanks Phil! Beesputty has to be cured in the oven - but another comment below mentioned that it might not be the best for making molds... maybe for the next one I'll use Green Stuff again. When doing conversions I usually use Green Stuff mixed with Magic Sculpt, maybe I can just continue with that.

If Beesputty is like FIMO, as Yann says....It would need an ultra fine coat of graphite, or similar, to stop the very 'outside layer' of the master sticking to the surface the rubber in the mould.....If this happens, any castings will look as if all the detail is basically non-existent.....You'd end up with a shaped 'blob' of metal. :(

Thanks Phil - I am going to experiment with some other stuff this weekend and see how it goes.

I wouldn't bother, Phil. Kids are a massive drain on resources.  :d
