Shaweet! I think Bumblebee is the best G1-er ever!

BTW, how do you make those? Sculpy?

Or, I'm betting that it's your little secret!

No secrets here! I sculpt them in plastilene clay, which is a non-hardening medium. It really holds hard edges well, and allows for reworking with proportions, and details. I do work in sculpy but find it much easier to do mechanical detail with the clay.

So how exactly do you cast them. If the clay medium your using is non hardnening seems like it would be hard to make a mold on them. I'm not that into casting though so probably missing something simple there.

Dose that mean that you make one peice molds? I use plastilene for making the seem (between halfs) in the mold, if the sculpt is the same material wouldn't it stick?

I use a second party to mold and cast these. I believe he uses silicone molds.
