Hey guys.. This is anther (How I did it thread) like my Zombie Camo one
<span style="font-weight: bold">I Hope you like it.. </span>
It is rather LONG and has tons of pics.. so PLEASE (for the children, LOL) pour yourself a cold one, light them if you got them and enjoy your time here.
Anyway on to the Thread..
Please note!! This is my first attempt at anything like this so I might fail miserably or I might succeed, either way we’ll find out together.. (Wish me luck!).. As In all of my projects I strongly suggest drinking heavily.. for what it worth.. this is what it looks like.. Hahahaa
The beginning:
It all stated one sunny day when my son and I were watching TV Deadliest warrior. (Enough said)
After an exhausting search on the web reviewing different molds, cast and just about everything else I could find I made up my shopping list and headed out with my kids to have some fun (dad’s style) and here is what we ended up with.
5 lbs of molding plaster
3 hard resin skulls
1 pig hart
1 pig brain
1 bag of plastic eyeballs
2 cartons of Knox unflavored gelatine (64) total packages
1 Round plastic tube measuring 8” x 8” x 24” ($9.00 at Michaels)
1 cardboard box 12” x 9”x 18”
2 rolls of resin tape
3 rolls of painters tape
1 can of Pam
1 small bottle of cinnamon leaf oil (anti foaming agent)
1 Bottle of Vodka
1 gallon of OJ
After watching several video of “myth busters and ultimate warrior” I decided to make 3 different types of ballistic molds to shoot up with my .50 Beowulf
1. 2 round 8” cylinders
2. 3 human heads
3. 1 upper body torso
To help achieve my goal (Tools wise) I’ll be using the following
1 extra large (46 gallon) cooler 16” x 18” x 36” (for cooling / setting and storing the ballistic jell
Several bowls from the kitchen (don’t tell the wife!)
A drill with a whisk attached (for mixing) the jell
A hobby scale of measuring out my plaster and Jell
A candy thermometer to ensure I don’t heat up the jell past 106 degrees
Some knife’s & scissors
Vinyl gloves
P.S.
I still need to pickup the following items to complete the project:
• 10 bags of ice
• A bottle of fake blood
• TBD (things I cant think of right now)
Starting the process:
I’m starting out with the head and a large screwdriver (70 % Vodka and 30% OJ)
My task / requirement here is a make a plaster mold from the skulls that I can use to make the shape and size of the head of course I’ll need to hollow out the skull add the brain and then insert the piece into the mold once the jell has been mixed up and is ready to pour..
Step one.. Making the plaster mold for the head:
I take one of the skulls and I need to add approximately 2” around it so I can achieve a mold that will allow approximately 2” of jell for this task I’m going to be adding the resin tape to the exterior the skull adding approximately 2” to the totally mass. I need to make sure that I still keep the basic shape of the head so I’ll be pressing the tape to the skulls and trying to keep the same basic shape throughout this process.
