Moai Mold

pinshape

This mold lets you cast Moai out of something other than resin. Note that the neck is narrower than the head, so you'll need a material that's at least somewhat flexible to demold easily. I used Oogoo for this project. This was an experiment to see if casting larger objects in Oogoo would actually work. It turns out it works wonderfully, and I'm pretty sure I could go much bigger... But I recommend trying your hand at casting a few smaller things with Oogoo before attempting something as large as this. You can find the recipe for making Oogoo here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Your-Own-Sugru-Substitute/ Oogoo sets in under 10 minutes, and it's cheap and easy to make from stuff you can buy locally. Give it a try!
