Galorn Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Insane stuff you've got there, mate :D Ludovic Thanks. How to you make the molds? From a Smooth On product called "mold star 15" if you mean the masters that I make the molds of, I cut and glued Expanded polystyrene foam board, and plasticard together with cyano acrylic glue (superglue, specifically Zap a Gap.) Glued the masters to a MDF, or Foamcore backing with a Low temp hot glue gun, sealed them with casting clay, built a mold box with Legos, mixed the RTV sillicone poured and waited. wow! looks awesome! very nice mate! Thanks Nice work. How well do the second floor sections hold up? Are you using any sort of underfloor supports once the Lego is removed? Are all the parts attached with PVA? Thanks, The second floor sections hold up quite well, Once the elmers dries they will hold a metal dread, or demon prince with no problem. I'll be adding some Girder details when I've got all the ruins assembled. everything is attached with Elmers PVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
