Does anyone around here do any casting??

[spawnsauce]

I have a few heads I want casted and I would also be willing to send any heads that I sculpt to be casted for me to have extras of and other customizers to make use of.

So if anyone has the materials or is doing any casting, please let me know. Thanks.

I posted a thread inquiring about casting services and commissions in the Trading Post forum and no one responded. You all suck. :)

I just need one head casted and have been trying for months....how expensive?

[Overhaulimus]

I can do some castings as well,just depends on how complicated of a piece it is.

That's where it gets pricey, if I have to make a mold for just one head cast and thats it the overall cost for the mold making is all upfront and that, depending on the size of the piece(s) an start at $20 just for the materials of the mold alone.

Post a picture(s) of what you want done and I, and anyone else, can give you a more accurate quote much more easily.

[Overhaulimus]

I agree with Tony,post up the head you need casted so we can give you a more accurate quote.

For this being such a nice sculpt I can't believe no one has casted it(that I know of).

I'll also take the hair off to make it easier. (Also to sculpt different hair on any casts that are made.)

So just let me know how much.

That is a nice head, pretty sure there are casts being sold of her somewhere but not without the hair like you want(which is a good idea btw). Smaller than what i thought it would be so $20 to make the mold(I usually keep the mold after, charge more if you want it after), first head cast is free $4 there after.

Sounds good, let me get the head ready and everything and I'll PM you with the details.

- Cybertron Snarl Front Leg (Left): Same parts count, dimensions, and casting colors as listed above.

If a particular shade of pink or green can be done, let me know and I can supply a reference image of the toy these colors are meant to emulate (or just Google Skullcruncher...).

I also have a few questions: Will stickers hinder the casting process? Do they need to be removed? And do you need the screws and pins from the parts to be sent as well?

Alty, to be honest, you'll save money just buying those figures again and again. Casting that Trypticon heads prolly gonna cost you at least $80 USD, and I think the second leg cast would run you about $50....

There are 2 trypticons almost complete for under $70 on ebay right now...

[Altitron]

Oh believe me, I've been looking. I'm just exercising all my options. :)

I also just sent a message to txcoincollect in regards to his auction ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200392127341&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT ) :

'I would love to buy this figure from you, but the condition that it is in does not warrant it being listed at such a high price. There is another Trypticon on Ebay that is in better condition than yours and is listed for less. Please consider lowering your BIN price, and you will have yourself an immediate purchase.'

I guess we'll see how well that goes over. :P

[Altitron]

Nevermind the Trypticon... I just won an amazing auction...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320434022279&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

So now all I'm looking for is Snarl legs. :)

[Olocden]

I do casting also, but some of the parts that will want to be cast, will have to be supplyed.

I do not do alot in the way of transformers, but looking to start.
