hey,

i am planning an arena for arena deathmatch. I will show the progress here.

I started with buying some molds from hirst arts.

Then I needed some casting material. Idecided to use dental stone.

Ant these are the first casts.

I think I have to cast the molds about 100 times :cry:

so keep on on casting.

Great casts, they look really realistic.
How long takes it to cast a single wall with that material you choosed?
Ciao

Mixing the material with water and filling it into the molds lasts about 5 minutes. After this it lasts about 10 - 15 minutes till the casts will be hard.

Looks very good.
Do you shake the molds to reduce bubbles?

stix0r · **Posted:** Sat Jun 25, 2011 6:24 pm

no. i dont have to shake them, because there are no bubbles if you use dental stone type 4. Just fill in and wait.

Oh, dental stone is the finest. But why is it so yellowish. This type of dental stone i won't like for my teeth.

Maybe it is used for people who have smoked all their lives, so it matches the tar stains. :lol:

Hirst arts moulds are great and The castings you are making look indeed great.

Really look forward to see the arena progressing!

You dont need dental gips do build new teehts. You need it to cast a model like this:
