So, I've finally started on the mold making for Beatrix and Amy. As promised I intend to post a step by step on the process in my Scraps, as none of these really are a deviation. I'll be concentrating on Beatrix mainly, since she's a much simpler character. Occasionally I'll throw in a picture of Amy in the same stage in order to show the difference between an easy and more difficult mold. Also, although she doesn't really require it, I'll be making a mother [or support] mold just to cover that part of the process. Very small silicone molds do not require this step, but it's good to know the process, and I prefer them.
By all means this is not a process to be nailed down and follow as "the proper way". Nobody taught me this stuff, and I simply prefer the 2 part molding process. Many people prefer slit molds, and some will consider my methods to even be overdone. The thing is, that each mold is a separate problem, and what ever works is what should be done. There are a dozen different ways of doing this, and this is just how I manage it.
I hope at least, that these pictures will give people valuable tips toward making their own copies.
These will be a bit occasional, but I will try to cover everything in sequence. Take care all, Dave.
