How To Make a Silicone Brush-Up Mold

We turn back the clock to before Comic-Con, as Frank and his team are prepping the Lich King armor made for Blizzard. Frank walks us through how to make a silicone brush-up mold of foam fabricated armor parts. These waste molds can be used to make clay castings to give costume parts additional sculptural detail!

  1. Frank, you come across as someone with no ego whatsoever. How refreshing.

    And Norm, you are the smart “side kick” that asks all the right, pointed, intelligent questions.

    Thanks, both of you, again.

  2. FRANK: What are the advantages of roughing in the shapes in EVA compared to sculpting the entire finished piece from clay with all the detail in the first pass, therefore saving an entire mold step?

    Alternately, instead of casting molds of the EVA blanks, why not just sculpt the detail bits in clay directly onto the EVA blank, then molding the entire piece in one pass?
