ShouJu first mold pulls...

Here is my first pull for the arms and head, the body mold got distorted...I hope to have a new one done real soon! This is a plain stand in for now.

FYI if you are using two different types of Dragon Skin Silicone for molds (mine were quick and Medium set), I accidently put medium over curing quick, and even though I molded under pressure the degassing quick set Dragon Skin bubbled up my second half of the mold...

I plan to get the body mold done this week, though with the holiday it might be next weekeund (the bonus being I am off work next Friday!) the other pic is a really shoddy idea of the paint job... I know it's rough :)


Height: 3.75 inches
Material: Soft vinyl like polyurethane
Articulation: Three points (arms and head)

FUN! FUN! FUN!

I am so delinquent! The real world has been kickin’ my little hiney… work (yea I have a real job), family, the holidays and a botched mold… So I got ShouJu’s head and arms molded and they are spectariffic! I will post some in progress pix in a bit… I have to rebuild the body mold so the full figure is delayed a bit. I am also struggling with paint for this particular Polyurethane he’ll be made of… but I think I may have found a breakthrough today… Anywho Pix to come fo sho!

Behold ShouJu the SWAMP BEAST

So here is the first of what I hope to be many AMERIKAIJU... or little quirky monsters in the Japanese style.... back story on ShouJu to follow.

Sketchbook fun...

Here is a clue for my first home brewed Kaiju....

So this is my inaugural post on what I hope to be a fun side project from Cast-a-Way Toys.  I hope to have the first of many done soon.  I am waiting on my casting resin to arrive and tweaking my sculpt, but the first one is already pretty much done.  My ultimate goal is to make as many as I can in different colorways and exclusive combinations and just have fun doin it.  This should be cool! I hope you dig it as much as I do.
