You know what might be a cool idea if you ever make something similar with different characters? Maybe to “hide” (aka implement them into the scene) the acrylic rods they’re mounted on inside the cloning chamber, you could maybe attach them to the characters in way that makes it seem like they’re meant to function as umbilical cords essentially. Like they’re what’s providing the supplements to keep the clones alive while waiting to be activated

[@sandshew4158]

I love these! Always wondered how the extra life thing would work in reality. With other characters being playable you could make other clones in resin and swap out the top and bottom. It would be cool to see Toad, Peach, Daisy, or Yoshi in one.

This is honestly the first thing adam made that actually terrified me. Not because of Mario and Luigi. It's the thought that they're in resin.

This turned out so cool!! Even better than I imagined from the Patreon hints! Now question is, are the original Mario and Luigi kept hidden somewhere for dna and future cloning purposes, or were they really the first to go and a dna just went really really well to create the clones?

[@Jadebones]

The real Mario and Luigi were killed during the first raid King Koopa ever did on The Mushroom Kingdom, but since they were the only two people at the time who gained special abilities from items found throughout the kingdom, the royal family decided to preserve their corpses in cryo chambers and cover up most of that incident. They extract DNA from the sources each time a clone dies, infuse it with some of the clone's DNA along with properties from the items they found, so that each time they produce a new clone they are capable of learning new abilities. The only side effect of that is there is a small chance of the new clone dying doing the exact same stupid maneuver that killed the previous clone.

I love the creative details that you add to your designs. Even the little creative things, like hooking up that tubing to the vats, just adds so much to the overall sculpture. And also, the highlights/dark patches that you add in all of your designs really make the sculptures pop. When you added that umber wash to the dirt made the dirt look so good and detailed.

[@LoganHemenway]

Hey instead of that clear tube that holds them up, could you suspend them with a string while pouring half the resin, then let that cure, remove the string, and pour the other half once they're set. Or would it leave a weird halfway mark in the resin?

[@charleslavoie7622]

It wouldn't leave a mark ! The main risk is that the figures would move during the curing process. Either from the string rotating, or the figures wanting to stay afloat for some reason (i.e. if the resin is very dense)

[@allendean9807]

I was thinking he could have brushed the clear tubes with UV, and it might have made it more clear?

[@URAGOOFUS]

@peter youtube vulture

[@samira_g3321]

he can leave the string if he uses fishing wire. it disappears as well

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Ya, two stage pouring would work but this resin takes 72 hours to cure, so I could pour the second layer at around 30 hours or so, then I'd have another 72 hours to wait and I'd run out of week! Definintely an idea if I'm doing it over several weeks, but in a few days I usually need to do everything in a single pour (which is why so many resin adventures go awry).
