If this video proves anything its that GW would make a killing if they introduced a confectionary line of products. Bring on the Chocolate Marines!

As a professional mould maker I am hyped by your enthusiasm for moulding but horrified by your execution. Practice make perfect my dudes!
-
Ah yes, “duplicate”, as opposed to the other word we all know and love.

Pinkysil is the best! It is technically foodsafe once cured, it’s been used for making moulds for chocolate and sugarcraft stuff for years. Modelling chocolate is also amazing to make the walls of silicone moulds and to mount half of an object into when you’re making a two part mould. It’s like monster clay but way, way cheaper, you can make it yourself and it’s even reusable.

I love how Jazza's chaos is so disturbing to Dave. He is so mellow and controlled while Jazza is like an over caffeinated squirrel.

I love how Dave is giving off the vibe of a tired dad trying to chaperone his insane child named Jazza

Glad others have mentioned Robert Tolone, definitely the guy for expert advice. I would straight off the bat say though that Dave would have had a much easier time vac pulling the silicone before pouring into the mould. Nice to see you guys having a bash at this sort of thing though, love it 👍

I am in the middle of "duplicating" My old metal thunderhawk, and this video just gave me the inspiration to continue!
-
2:46 I was caught so off guard with the little "holla" in the background! THE SOPHISTICATED JOKES ARE APPRICIATED!!!

Haha Love it. "Inserts 90s Aussie copyright music" . You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a movie. You wouldn't steal a Stormbird ..... Love it!

When making a mould I always mix up a small amount of silicone and then dribble that all over the model and use a stick to poke it into all the detail and then remove bubbles. Then, you can mix up all the silicone you need and just pour it in and not worry about air bubbles on the part your casting. It also helps to pour from fairly high up, to make the steam of silicone "thin" which pops air bubbles as you pour.

In the age of 3d printing, this seems needlessly complex, but I salute you.

The "That's what she said"s in the Background killed me
-
Best part is that they used the soundtrack of the unscippable "piracy is a crime" warning video that was displayed on old dvd's!!! (17:50) aaah, the details!
-
The answer is yes it is incredibly easy to recast stuff in resin using a silicon mould.
-
how on earth does a company full of geeks not have at least one massive box of miscellaneous lego knocking around at home? they will usually be found in the area set aside for, no i'm not getting rid of this i'll totally get around to doing something with this some day...
-
I love how Dave explained the monster clay as something made just for two part molds
-
You should use the replica storm bird pieces as wreckage. The wing and engines could be strewn across a desert environment with scorch lines and dunes implying there is a ship under the sand
-
Bit of a hint for two part molds as well, add dowels or posts that touch the model to have a pour gate and air hole as well so you can place the molde together then pour through the hole allowing the air to escape through the other.

10:14 "that's what she said" as in you can hear it quietly in the background. Nice lil touch that I appreciated
