5.0 out of 5 stars Complete kit, everything you need to get started, April 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moldmaking & Casting Pourable Starter Kit
Casting miniatures can be confusing. There are so many different types of rubbers, plastics, epoxies and what not. This kit takes all the worry out of that. You get the ingredients needed to make the rubber molds and you get the ingredients needed to cast the actual miniature parts.
It also comes with mold release and mold sealant which are optional but good to have.
Comes with a quick overview sheet and detailed instructions and a bonus DVD that you can watch.

I am very happy with this kit. It takes all the guesswork out of making molds and casting miniatures.
I have used it to cast some really small miniatures and it holds extremely fine details.

5.0 out of 5 stars molding and casting in plastic made easy, October 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moldmaking & Casting Pourable Starter Kit
I was happily suprised to find that the other reviews on this product were completely correct: this starter kit is awesome. Comparing the costs of the kit to buying the pieces seperately (the casting plastic, and the mold making compunds), it's actually cheaper to get this kit. And to boot, you get mold release! Everything you need in one box, with paper instructions and a dvd on how it's done. This was my first time making molds and casting with plastic, and I had no issues whatsoever with either! Fast, super easy, and affordable. You really cant ask for more. The next time I need something molded and replicated, I will be ordering again. The finished plastic carves and sands beautifully, and the kit gives you plenty of mold making material and casting compounds to do a few small projects, or a good medium to large sized project. I made two, two-sided molds for figurines that were aprox. 3-4" high and around 1.5" thick in the thickest parts. The casting compounds made approx. 20-30 castings of the figurines from the mold, and was so detailed, you could even see fingerprints from the original model (it was a scuply clay figurine I made and baked that happened to have a finger print or two).
Fyi.. when using this kit, buy some cheapy plastic cups and some popsicle sticks if you're making lots of little figurines, maybe a paint bucket and painters mixing stick for larger castings. Don't use anything you wouldn't want to throw away.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Starter Kit - Recommended, May 27, 2009
This review is from: Moldmaking & Casting Pourable Starter Kit
Smooth-On makes a wide range of moldmaking and casting products, and this kit contains a good example of thier silicone and resin. The kit also includes detailed instructions.

Moldmaking and casting can be fun and rewarding hobbies, but if done without proper materials and instructions it can also be disapointing and expensive. This kit is a good and fairly safe way to try this without buying a lot of equipment you might not need.
