LEGO is great for mouldmaking

[@gemmamalo96]

the astronaut is such a cute and well-designed little puppet! the 4 fingers are very endearing :)

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Ed, I like how you are not afraid to show your failures. I've never learned anything by things going as expected. It's only when things go wrong that the gears in the head start spinning.

[@edupuertasfruns]

+john jones really true, why to skip the best part... The troubles, well provably easier but I am not an expert and I am more confortable telling the truth

[@MichaelAngeloMacias]

For anyone else reading, the Brown clay is a Sulfur-free Plasticine and is used to create the original model. The seafoam green is Newplast and is suppose to not stick too much to the model. Thanks Edu!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Brown clay is chavant Nsp medium, just in case somebody wants to know

[@vanidemo]

Damn! Where has this channel been all my life?

[@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257]

Great tutorial. The puppets I make are very cheap by comparison. I bend wire and foil for the skeletons, regular modeling clay for what's covered up, plasticina for stuff like the heads, feet and hands, painted beads for the eyes, oven bake clay for stuff like teeth, props, etc. I've only recently begun to create molds for my newest idea, a fantasy adventure with a rag tag group on the run from bounty hunters while finding an infant.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

Refreshing to see that the experts have failures too. Thank you for your honesty. It helps people like me to have another try.

[@edupuertasfruns]

I make a lot of mistakes and get failures day after day

[@Elviloh]

Interesting attempt ! Learning from the first failure I would have tried this : 1 Use the latex as a first layer in your open mold, applied using a brush as you did, 2 put your wire, 3 close the mold and fill it with silicon ! That way silicon will not stick to the mold, and you can easily color your outer-layer in latex (you can color silicon but it's not easy). I think it will be easier and less messy (latex is always such a mess and it stink!). I use the Lego trick too, it's very useful, so here another tip : if you want to use less expensive silicon, cut old used molds into pieces and add it to your fresh silicon, that way if you make a big mold you use less fresh product. You can also add foam pieces to make it less rigid and easier to open, it won't affect the solidity of the mold :) Less waste, more silicon, more molds ! Great job, I really enjoy your videos, big thanks and keep going !

[@edupuertasfruns]

+French Toad hey! Lovely idea to fill the inside in silicone and reusing moulds. Thanks for your ideas! I am sure other people would enjoy them

[@Elviloh]

[@NicolasCarnol]

I use resin PU for mouldmaking. Everyone's habits, but the principle remains the same :) It's nice to use lego! good job!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Nice, PU is great, I use it for too many things. :) And yes I have a lot of incomprehensible habits... but finally you do what you feel the best for you and that's the right choice.

[@NicolasCarnol]

edu puertas I don't say that my habits are better. On the contrary, it is interesting to see the ideas of others. I learn a lot with your youtube channel, especially for armatures !

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Nicolas Carnol neither do I, in fact I would love to hear advices and ideas about the things I so wrong. Like that latex failure. I am thinking that I should use plaster for the moulds as it is pourous. Provably would let the latex cure.

[@NicolasCarnol]

edu puertas In a week, I will put a video of the mold I created on my channel. I use resin for moulds and silicone for the arms. I'll send you the video to compare our techniques (if you want). I use silicone because I don't know how to use latex

[@passionpropels]

latex really dries, so what happens is, that water is drawn from the latex. in the air it would evaporate. what also works really well is a plaster mold. the plaster kind of "sucks" the water from the latex.

[@MrNicklasp]

i saw this video once and i the idea got stuck in my head you sir is a big inspiration !

[@michellew.3691]

Nice Work! Patience and sweat is making up half the goal! But it‘s worth it! 👍

[@dankerthanclanker]

Hey, Edu. I used to work for a model making company that worked with resin. They used a vacuum chamber to remove bubbles. I reckon it'd be possible to rig up some high powered motor and piston arrangement, with a one way pressure valve, to remove air more effectively. Might be worth trying to rig something up.

[@edupuertasfruns]

+dankerthanclanker vacuum must be great. I don't have it. Building all this device should be fun, now it is dificult to find time for all.

Using lego bricks is a great and cheap solution! I will have to experiment making a puppet sometime soon. Amazing video as always!

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Pipne thanks, the best is that you can reuse the bricks forever.

[@stenky02]

edu puertas I once had a Lego brick... My Leg stepped on it... I once had a Leg...

[@AaaaNinja]

l also like that you can use them over and over. They never wear out. I see others construct their pour boxes out of sheets of acrylic. Such a waste of plastic. You also have to take the time to measure it out, and cutting the pieces is dangerous.

[@km2032]

great video. failure does happen! great to see how you problem solved it. feeling inspired :)

[@calabiyou]

Top stuff!

[@Declan-pg8cg]

Nice experimenting. You need to use a good medium hardness plaster for your mold next time, and leave your latex filled mold somewhere with pretty warm circulating air. You will get the best results from this PLUS it's way cheaper than silicone. Or you can cast a high flexibility polyurethane rubber in a silicone mold. Good luck.

[@TwinTales]

So what if you don't want to add sulphur, what should I pour into the mold so it will work? If I wait longer will the latex work without sulphur?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Now that I know more than when I made the video. There are chemicals to make the latex solidify inside no porous moulds. Not easy to find but exist

[@felipeamaral6473]

It's amazing how much detail silicone can hold and transfer to the positive pieces. I'm guessing the final material influences a lot in the ammount of details. If not latex, what other flexible materials could've been used to make these parts? Awesome video as always.

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Felipe Amaral yes silicone is awesome. The final result isn't as good as it should be. Dragon skin is the material that works the best.

Si quieres que el látex seque dentro del molde; justo después de pintarlo tienes que licuarlo, batirlo, y hasta queda mas esponjoso, así se fabrican las prótesis de látex (foamlatex), saludos!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Guay, lo intentaré la próxima a vez, pero en realidad este latex no es para foam latex. El foam latex son varios componentes al horno.

[@AngelJavierMata]

Si!, yo suelo batirlo con una hélice para taladro y claro un taladro jajaja, pero en visto aquí en youtube que usan batidoras para tartas o pasteles O:, espero serte de ayuda al igual que tus vídeos son de ayuda para mi ;D!

[@edupuertasfruns]

[@Tom_Oudheusden]

Nice video! See you at Annecy :)

[@edupuertasfruns]

Great!!! see you there!

[@Shuhnyxia]

latex is not foam-latex normal latex rubber has ammonia to keep the latex in liquid form and stable the ammonia needs to evaporate out (which is why low density plaster molds are normally used to make latex masks and such) in order to change the latex into a solid form (ideal paster to have maximum aeration is a (by weight) 1:1 plaster to water ratio. you than fill the mold with latex and let dry for hours -- after that you pour out the remaining liquid latex. you are left with a dryed out layer of latex that hugs the plaster mold. you than pull out the latex object and put talc inside and outside of the latex shape to prevent it sticking as the latex drys further more, a small size reduction will occur because more humidity evaporates out to make foam latex you need a vulcanizing agent and some other agents. you also need a mixer or a whisk to make it fluffy (like a meringue). after that you have to bake the poured foam-latex and its mold in an oven. foam latex does have the bright side of having a lesser density than normal latex which makes it more easy to bend --- i would suggest that you get yourself very flexible silicone rubber - something close to smooth-on dragon-skin silicone rubber and a big plastic syringe that you use to suck-up the mixed rubber and delicately poor through the ventilation holes of your molds -- i would also suggest that you cut out a very thing 2nd hole (an air vent) to prevent air bubbles when casting silicone in silicone molds, mold release agent is highly suggested -- the wax you used seems to work well but i never used it so i cant say anything about it much more than that :) happy casting ^^

[@edupuertasfruns]

+Shuhnyxia wow, you take long time to help me, thank you very much to explain all this. I didn't know the químics of làtex. I suspected that plaster was a must to make it dry but I wanted to try. I have dragon skin, its great, but you learn by testing things. And foam làtex, I did once, I feeled the process very complex and now I don't have the mediums soo. Again thanks for sharing all that knowledge, love it!

[@Shuhnyxia]

its the least I could do you teach so much yourself :)

[@Shuhnyxia]

oh -- kind of silly of me but i just discovered smooth-on makes 2 kinds of foam silicone kind of amazing I'm assuming its a sweet way to make skin-showing large/fat arms for puppets

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks anyway

[@Shuhnyxia]

yeah well silicone is bomb lasts way lonmger (foam latexssint known to rurvive time so well) and the finishing look of silicone is so much better (pigmentation and etc) im thinking thats how Laika makes their "fat" character puppets arms and etc: www.google.ca/search?q=high+grade+puppet+armature&safe=off&rlz=1C1ASRM_enCA638CA638&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOobqauKDUAhXs7YMKHWLOAq4Q_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=950#safe=off&tbm=isch&q=high+grade+puppet+paranorman&imgrc=pnSmihgdolC7sM: heres the product (im sure you can grab an equivalent in your sector): www.smooth-on.com/product-line/soma-foama/ like you brush a thin layer of pink dragonskin and than after it drys to inject with that foam silicone with like a purple-ier pink (or paint veins in the inner-side layer of dragonskin, before pouring the silicone foam) silicone-foam expands which makes it less dense and easier on the joints (epoxy putty is still useful to give rigid mass though)

[@leoroam2770]

+ edu puertas -Loved that you started in new things to do, The mould making with lego is so awesome but if you haven't these parts you should try with silicone,epoxy or what you keep on. You have a lot of things to show!!Your website about kinetic armatures deserves to be showed in videos ,so you go on trying with latex and silicone for a full casting puppet. I have a liquid latex to work but i get so insecure for the process in it! The fails in either of these things makes me feel bad, really upset.What i can do?

[@edupuertasfruns]

+leo Roam every fail teaches you something. There is something cultural about it. Here in Spain failing is not appreciated but to me failing is better than doesn't start. So keep trying, foam làtex is complex, I only used it ONCE and for a big puppet. Never give up

[@heracles2110]

en definitiva... si tu positivo sera una pieza rigida se usa moldes (negativos) blandos como silicona para no dañar la pieza en el desmolde, si tu positivo sera blando no es necesario gastar tu presupuesto en algo tan caro como silcona (aca en argentina carisimo) con yeso de dentista basta. Genial lo del LEGO edu, no lo conocia, aguante dragon skinnnnn

[@edupuertasfruns]

+heracles2110 buen apunte, estoy muy de acuerdo. Mi intuicion me dijo que me ayudaria a sacar las piezas en mejor condicion usando silicona. En parte ha sido asi, para la bota tocaba hacer un molde de tres partes, mas complejo. Ciertamente era mejor el yeso para hacer respirar el làtex. He sacado un montón de ideas del proceso

[@MichaelAngeloMacias]

Edu, when I make a mold of my model, does the material I use have to be completely dry? I have Van Aken (never dries) modeling clay and I wasn't sure If I needed a different type of clay, like Sculpey for the mould making part. muchisimas gracias!
