Question Making molds of classics?

So all I have is a 1st edition masterset and 1 pack of monk/guards (sentinels?). Can I just make molds of them and paint? I have plastic model building experience, and used to play warhammer (friends would have me paint figures for them). Also, if I rebase them, do some warhammer figures fit well? I think I have Krell from undead, some Chaos figures and a few 40k marines floating around someplace. Though right now I want to clone my monks and do 1 up as Wu (I think that was the name). I think I saw somebody mention EZ mold, but I'm not sure as I can't make the search work on my phone. 1 or 2 part molds? What do you use for mold release? Any help would be awesome. I have low funds and can't be ordering a ton of discontinued stuff, but I like having real figures to work with,and this seems a way I can do it while having fun.

Re: Making molds of classics?

I'm no moldsman myself, but I've seen some real good clones on TREX's thread here. You could maybe shoot him a Private Message if you have any questions about molding and rebasing and all that jazz.

Filthy the Clown has done some molding using instant mold and green stuff. He has a tutorial here.

Thanks! That's the one I heard mentioned, and I was having a little trouble finding. Search function does not like my phone

Re: Making molds of classics?

@Guther , My mold making instant mold thread is based on filthy's thread but I have modified my mold making process to get rid of some of the issues I have ran into. Welcome to the site. Also you could look up Instant Mold Sandwich molds on youtube.

Check out my ebay where you can find my custom dice trays and dicetowers:
