概述

Overview
Andreas Moravec is a moldmaker and makeup artist based in Austria. In this tutorial, Andreas demonstrates a technique for creating '300' style theatrical armor using Rebound™ 25 silicone and Smooth Cast® resins.

Materials Used in this Tutorial

• Mixing Containers
• Mixing Sticks
• Paint Brushes
• Smooth-Cast® 325
• So-Strong
• Rebound™ 25
• Alja-Safe®
• Gypsum Bandages
• Plasti-Paste®
• Cast Magic®

Step 1: Working with Alja‑Safe™
Alja-Safe™ alginate is used to take an impression of the actor's chest. Gypsum bandages are then used to back up the alginate and provide support. The Alja-Safe™ captures every detail of the actor and a gypsum cast is made from the Alja-Safe™ mold.






Step 2: Creating Armor
The armor detail is sculpted onto the gypsum positive using an oil-based clay. Moldmakers then apply a thin coat of Rebound® 25 rubber. A thickness of 3/8'' (1cm) of Rebound® 25 silicone is brushed onto the sculpt. Plasti-Paste® is then applied on top of the cured Rebound® 25 to form a support shell and allowed to cure.








Step 3: Casting your Armor
The mold is opened, revealing that all of the detail has been catured in the Rebound® 25 silicone. Cast Magic® powder is brushed onto the mold surface. Smooth Cast® 325 is pigmented black using So-Strong® tints and brushed into the mold. The Smooth Cast® resin is allowed to fully cure for 1 hour.







Step 4: Perfect Fit
The finished resin casting is a perfect fit.
