masseyferguson390 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Wasn't really too sure as to where to put this thread but here goes.... i thought i would share with you all some pictures of some resin walls i've had made. The first picture is the first one off the mould so has some of the plastiscene residue in. going to have a go at painting them sometime any opinions would be greatly appreciated Edited November 2, 2012 by masseyferguson390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendt Fahrer Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 wow they look awsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyferguson390 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 they are still in plain white resin form, so a coat of paint is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fendt Fahrer Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 you should post a WIP (work in Progress) on how you made the master and then the mould etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyferguson390 Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 i made the masters from stone, then someone i know build up the layers of the mould and made the casts, so i'm not to sure how the mould was made apart from lots of layers have to be applied over a period of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They do look very good indeed, can the same mould be used to try different materials? Like maybe some sort of plaster/ground down stone compound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyferguson390 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Heres some more photos of them with paint in, I've just been experimenting with a few different water based paints http://i1306.photobu...ls/SAM_1587.jpg http://i1306.photobu...ls/SAM_1588.jpg http://i1306.photobu...ls/SAM_1589.jpg http://i1306.photobu...ls/SAM_1591.jpg this picture is of corner pieces with diffenernt paints for comparison, they have all been air brushed with a base coat of sand coloured paint, the one on the left has just been air brushed with the base coat, the middle piece has had a dark gray colour applied with a sponge in places to add effect, and the one on the right has also been sponged but with a lighter greyish brown colour http://i1306.photobu...ls/SAM_1590.jpg i would like to know which one you guys on here think is best Edited November 3, 2012 by masseyferguson390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Now I can see these on the computer screen I have to say (and agree with others) these are truly excellent and if you can do this - don't stop. Sean and I use Scaloox blocks to make this kind of walling but as Scaloox they can no longer be bought. The moulds can be bought from Jigstones so you can make your own in batches. However, time and so forth the customer usually wants a finished product - such as what you have done. If I can suggest one thing, the ends of each section need to be dovetailed (easiest way I could describe it) so that you can interlock them to make longer walls without the visible vertical line. www.jigstones.com Scaloox as I used it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyferguson390 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) The measurements for these are as follows: the corner piece measures 18.4 cm's on the outerside of the base, the base is 2cm high and the hight is just under 5 cm. the straight section is 27.3 cm's long, 2 cm wide and the hight is just under 5 cm. These will be for sale on my stall at the 'Lakeland model farm and construction show' (Rheghed) in November Edited November 3, 2012 by masseyferguson390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyferguson390 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Working on that pr Now I can see these on the computer screen I have to say (and agree with others) these are truly excellent and if you can do this - don't stop.

Deere-est Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I hope it is food for thought. I appreciate the lengthy process, it's not something I would wish to undertake to be honest but hopefully if you get on well with this project . .. I may never have too!!! :) Has brickwork crossed your train of thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may never have too!!! :) Has brickwork crossed your train of thought? the origional moulds were made from sections of wall made from real sand stone, cut to size, if thats what you mean? these will be for sale when there done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Ah, no I mean a brick wall but I'm sure constructing a master out of cut stone as you have done so well here would be nigh on impossible. I should think for bricks the master would have to be sculptured from something? Then it begs the question whether sculpting would be easier than casting from it.
