      Did you have any issues with your mold material trying to stick to the paint on the original?

          Thanks everyone.

          I did indeed have problems Jian. Alot of paint on my original came off even with alot of mold release and wax etc. Thats one of the risks with molding anything screen used is that you may damage your original. Have 2 more cast up that I have to test out different colours. Ori helmet is in the mold as we speak too

              I have some control crystals and some replicator pieces I'm going to make copies of. I think the control crystals should be okay because all the details are either etched in or on a vinyl sticker, but I expect the paint will probably come off the replicator pieces. I think might just use the original replicator piece as a reference and make a copy out of paper clay and do a casting of it. That dosen't really work for something as complex as the wraith stunner though.

                The crystals should be fine if they are smooth. Standard RTV silicone is what i used for the mold but the paint wasnt the best on the piece which didnt help and due to it being a foam piece the paint didnt seem to be adhered all that well either so the silicone just took off the chunks that were already loose. Still it is always a risk with screen used props if molding them,

                  I'm planning on using RTV silicone also, both because I love the stuff and because I bought a gallon for a project the I ended up changing materials on and now I need to use it before it goes bad.

                  Did you retouch the paint job on the original to fix what got pulled off by the mold?

                    Nah I left the original as is (no intention of selling at any stage so doesnt bother me that much ) and due to the paint being flakey it would require a complete strip and repaint to look right.

                      Someone wanted to see a silver one so thought i would paint one up. From left to right the first 2 need touch ups before sealing the paint, and last 2 are still WIP's

                        They look awesome. I wish I had the time/talent to make something like that.

                            Now, there's something I'd be interested in... of course, also in acquiring an actual Wraith stunner.
