I'm glad I'm not the only person who loves Ultracal for hard molds~

Gah it's amazing, I love it! It's so hard to break ^.^ And I have lots of animals that like messing with my stuff, so it's perfect for that :D

Yes, but what does it smell like?

Sorry XD Couldn't resist! You are becoming very accomplished with your skill of building these suits, I am very proud of you.

Hahaha :P And thank you, I'm really happy with how this is all coming out. I'm so glad to have progressed this far, as my first few suits were so awful...And I've been accepted into the community so readily as a real suit builder, I really am flattered by it all

Ooh, I know that people will love to get these noses!

:)

where can i buy silicone? I need to make a few molds for myself plus cast stuff.

I get mine from a local art store in Richmond. The brand I buy is from Smooth-On (http://www.smooth-on.com/) but they're shipping is really bad because the stuff weighs so much, so if you can find a place that sells it locally that would be better. I just prefer Smooth-On products because they're all 1:1 ratio mixing. You might be able to find something of the like at a Tap Plastics, but their prices tend to be REALLY BAD, so be careful with that and make sure you're not overpaying.

That puppy nose looks so real!!!

That's what my mom said :D Thank you!

You're very welcome!!! ♪♭♪♭♪ Whoever gets it should like occasionally spray it with a little mist for a wet-dog-nose. *tee-hee*

Lol I've been so tempted to do that on many occasions :D

Go for the realism! *tee-hee*

How do you make molds for noses ?

I sculpt in plastaline oil clay (it doesn't dry out so I can leave it and not be scared it will crumble), then I build a wall around the sculpt and pour Ultracal 30 plaster over it and let it dry for a little over an hour, maybe more. Then scrape the clay out (you can also melt it with a hair dryer) and you have a nice mold! You'll probably want to run some water in it to clean it out, then it's ready for use. You don't NEED to clean it though, it doesn't matter too much. Most people only clean it when they're not using oil based clay (like the stuff they use in the show Face-Off, I can't remember what that clay is called though ><")

Where do u get molds like this? Also do u commission noses ?

I sculpted the piece and created my own mold, actually. And I will in the future! During mid-April I'll be revamping my page with more commission info and such.
