Warhammer model has bigger feet than my girlfriend. Building a TITAN'S FOOT

Yep. It's me Scratch "Grindset" Bashing back with another build. The Warlord Titan is the biggest Warhammer 40k titan (that you can buy). I don't wanna buy a foot, I wanna make a foot.

Shout outs!

Message for your ISP:
In this video I build up a set of Warlord Titan feet. What does that entail? First we have to put in the Hard work to build a master toe. Once we have the best toe we need to lubricate it with a release agent and then cover it in hot bubble gum goo to make a mould. Then a 2-part epoxy resin is used to make duplicates. The chemical reaction is exothermic (it gets Hot) and it cures quickly (around 18 or more minutes). So we end up with some Hot 18 + (minute cure time) Hard Feet lubed up (with mould release agent). At the end I photograph the feet. This results in feet pics. Yup, feet pics. Maybe I need a VPN...

I’d say, remake the mold it’s a useful skill that you should take the time to get right

[TheCrafsMan]

Oh man that paste/spackle file trick for added visual interest/detail... EXCELLENT!
Also, I may have learned so new words. Fixin to go look around for accoutrements.

The mold you made is very economical I think its great for what it is. The solution to most of your problems would involve more expenses and casting time. If you want better casts I suggest; separating the pieces into individual molds that are cylindrical as it will shift less when banded properly, using disposable plastic cups if the part fits i will skip rubber banding and just put the mold back into the plastic cup to make sure it maintains shape, doing a full pour mold instead of half and half and cutting only enough to remove the parts this will negate most of the shifting problems. I also suggest getting a pressure pot to let the resin cure in to reduce bubbles on the inside of the pieces.

Definitely make little aquariums. Great video, man!

Love where the design is going. For the mold, definitely remake it - it would be a pity to finish a project of this scale and not have details like you wanted. Maybe doing smaller molds in a plastic cup would work better. Only did a few molds myself but among the tips I picked up off Robert Tolone's channel, using a round mold and lots of elastic bands was one of the things that bumped up my mold quality.

Excited to see everything go 100% according to plan and *perfect*

1:07 "Let's do a scale check - Yup, it is a scale" .
That is my favorite quote from this video :)

[CronosVids]

I can’t say how much I was looking forward to a new video in this series. Keep the epic build coming!

[boku]

You really fooled me with the picture. I've thought that it's MWM and his titan. Though i must say sigma patern titan sounds as way cooler project than beta forgeworld one.
Will follow this :D Sticking the mould between two big pieces of wood should put an even pressure. If that doesn't work i suggest multiple smaller ones .

[charlesman]

I’ve been waiting eagerly for the next part. Remake the mold. You’ve almost got it.

[BillMakingStuff]

Yeah... I knew it. No girlfriend.
I like the candle plunger, that was cool.

[evangold]

You could cut down the bottom of the feet so that they’re all level, and then hide the cutting job by building up some mud and rubble around them on the base/stand/terrain of the model

[teejayv]

Just as a layer of new poured silicone, over a half inch, to the bottom of the LEGO barrier, the put the bottom half of the mold on it, repeat with the top, just to thicken the walls of the mold.

[dahlia.avdiaz]

I'd remake the mold and use MDF boards that cover the entire mold on each side to brace. Also, I'd use stronger rubber bands to compress, and space them evenly to apply even pressure. This will prevent bowing and slippage.

I had the exact same problem just this week buying mold rubber that had obviously been sitting on the shelf too long. One half was fine, the other half was even worse than what you got. Almost peanut butter consistency. I decided to do a little bit of experimenting, and found that mineral spirits works to thin it down. I added mineral spirits to the bad half of the rubber and then mixed it with the good half. I had to thin it down quite a bit to get it even close to a workable consistency, but it didn’t seem to have any negative effects on the rubber curing properly. Definitely not ideal, but it worked fine for the fairly simple parts I was molding.

I've used that silicone for mold making, and it's never let me down, personally, though I've always made the mold halves way thicker. One thing that might help is making a plaster shell for the mold halves. The plaster will add the rigidity you need to prevent the mold making a bubble

[thra-x]

'sure we got head but now it's time to embrace an appreciation of feet' - a man of culture i see.
jokes aside, put the original pieces back in the mold, then put a shell on the mold, like out of plaster or fiberglass. i work with thin-molds all the time and that the only way they work.

Weirdo with an art degree here. I spent several years making molds for figure sculpts, so maybe my advice can help:

Perhaps what you're looking for is a "mother mold". Essentially, you cast your pieces in a soft silicone like you did here, then you add an additional layer over the cured silicone: Liquid plaster. The plaster hardens and acts as a "skeleton", keeping the silicone from sagging as you make casting pours. Then you simply disassemble the plaster and silicone to get your parts, and reassemble for the next pour.

I'm actually working on a mold of this exact kind right now, though instead of using liquid silicone I'm using silicone caulk! Cheaper and easier to handle in my opinion (if you wanna know more just ask), though perhaps not what you're looking for in this project. Best of luck with your kitbash!

Hey scratch bashing my job is making silicone molds for minitures, your doing well but adding the chunks into the mold might be good for filling but will leave air gaps in the silicone making it weeker in spots a vacuum chamber would help but to sort it you want to make each piece in its own mold this way you can apply even pressure across the part. We make split molds which is a different to the two-part you are trying to do and helps keep things aligned resulting in less mold lines.

Hope this helps if you need anything else send me a message I'm happy to help you complete your big boi :)

Remake the mold! Mold making is tricky but when you try and fail, just try again =D
