  I suggest making a Lego frame to make neat square molds.

  From what I remember watching tutorials with this stuff, the secret to 2 stuff molds is to use toothpicks to provide channels for the extra material to go out of when you squish the two halves together

  50 50 miliput greenstuff mix, and clean the excess off the mould before pressing together. Cast in a small lego box for no mould expansion when casting the original piece.

  I was half expecting a Goobertown Hobbies insert with Brent explaining why the plastics stuck together.

  Thank you for including the bit with the plastic bag, it's very useful to know that that isn't an option

  Blue Stuff is actually a product not invented by GreenStuffWorld, they just slapped their own name on it. It also goes by the name Oyumaru in Japan where it's sold as a toy. So it actually is made to be played with. It comes in many colors and looks to be sold at a cheaper price than Blue Stuff.

  I’ve used sculpy to make molds of Gundam parts that I’ve lost, and then sculpy again to cast them. It’s worked alright.

  What I've done is put down a few layers of watered down liquid green stuff to capture the detail, then put down the solid green stuff to block it out. It's flexible enough, versatile enough, and it captures great detail

  Make a small mold case for the blue stuff before pressing the part in. I use plastic card or popsicle sticks. This helps with keeping a consistent thickness beneath the part as well as controlling the amount of blue stuff you use.<br><br>A 2 part mold needs registration marks for the 2 halves to meet together the same way each time.

  Plasmo has got to be my favourite diorama/ WW2 modeller in existence

  if you want to cast something like the wings, get some casting silicone. make a 2 piece mold, and measure out how much casting material you&apos;ll need. with sufficient pressure on both sides of the mold, you&apos;ll only have to do minor cleanup.
