My $500 Concrete Casting Disaster (K-2SO Cement Bust Experiment)

[@HaloperidolFan]

very cool cool project, you learn the most from mistakes

[@shaynecoventry8894]

Hey. The fact that you attempted this, at all. Says something. I think despite your hardship, you did a good job! Nicely done.

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@studio-rawr]

Glad you persevered. Still looks awesome. Now you have that cool mould so maybe you will still be able to do a pour you're happy with. You could try slush casting resin or something.

I’m glad you persevered and finished it. Still really cool looking. The first attempt could make a really cool garden statue. A busted old droid.

[@brungerbuilds]

That's my plan! Thanks for watching!

[@wsuvjosh]

These still turned out pretty sick!

[@outerworldworkshop]

Looks cool!!

[@donger007]

Not to minimize the frustrations you felt....cuz I know how tough it can be. But as a fellow maker, we've all experienced these moments. Especially after trying new processes or new materials. It's always a learning process. Great job. Although they didn't come out as you imagined, they still look great for what they are.

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks for saying so! This whole channel has been quite the learning process and I'm constantly reminding myself not to let "perfection be the enemy of good enough." Thanks for watching!

Even a failure can be great.

[@GRichardWrotten]

It’s easier to learn from our failures than our successes.

[@GRichardWrotten]

Dude. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m a professional mold maker and sculptor and even worked on a star war once. You made all the right mistakes to learn some amazing lessons. I’m shocked you managed to get that guy back into the first half of the silicone so successfully, great job! Get some fast-cast and make some more copies of him!

[@sdfsdf2205]

Great work in the end! Just takes time to know the ratios, add on top of that the different grades(types) of cement/concrete intertwining all together for the project.(even humidity plays a roll),

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks! Definitely a learning experience 😅

[@SweSumSes]

Even though there were a lot of ups and downs, it turned out beautiful. Great work!

[@brungerbuilds]

Thanks!

[@yusufalasmi8923]

Damn that was rough. Loved it

[@graydonhively5909]

Thats still a pretty good result! Im sure you might be reluctant to create another mold, but I bet you could try a couple more times and nail the process. Maybe some day down the road?

[@brungerbuilds]

Maybe some day! 😅

[@audi4444player]

the end results were pretty cool even if they weren't as perfect as you wanted. but I don't really understand why you did it the way you did I would have first sealed the model so there weren't any unwanted overhangs or details as you kind of did but no milliput, just cheap clay, then poured silicone into a box that had some more filler blocks to use up space so less silicone, plopped him in it attached to something from above (like a wood beam/s across the box) with him held at the right height along with some blocks dipping in for registration. then do the other side, also would have used some finer concrete. I don't get making half clay first at all in this situation, it seemed to be most of the work too.

Live and learn 🤷🏻‍♂️
