Clone Trooper 1/6 Helmets for sale

[Gruff Old Bear]

I've only used Smooth-On's Omoo once, when I was attempting to cast something in transparent resin. The transparent stuff must be cast in a tin-cure silicone mold.

Otherwise I use one of Smooth-On's platinum-cure silicones to make my molds. It costs only a few dollars more for Eco-Flex or Smooth-Sil 920, the tear strength is far greater, the molds will last a long long time (it's important to leave the last pour in the mold for storage). They are detail-sensitive to the degree of registering a fingerprint.

I've never had a shrinkage problem, and in fact I've never heard of any silicone shrinking at the mold stage though, as I say, my experience with Omoo is limited. Shrinking is more often associated with the material used for casting.

Thanks for the input. like I said I never experienced any shrinkage with this product before. But I never considered the casting material.

I wonder if age of the casting material is the cause?

Awesome, will drop you an email when I get home tonight.

Any thoughts on a recast of the medicom EpIII helmet? Sideshow's may be wonky for their Utapau trooper.

i would love for that to be done so i wont take a risk by painting up a medicom trooper, and wont have to live with a hasbro helmet. then i could get a hasbro trooper swap the body and use this helmet (if it was ever done) to make Commander Bly.

If I only had one I would love to do it. But wont the medi heads be to small for SS,hot toys or hasbro scale?
I wonder if Gentle Giant has one and are those more in scale?

 

[galactiboy]

The Medicom Troopers (Ep II and III) are actually scaled like other 1/6 figures. So they should both work (if needed) on a Sideshow figure.

The GG and Koto ones are a bit small. But the Medi Ep III would be fine for use I think.
