Custom Webgear...

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Well from my udnerstanding people on here refer to the accessory vests and stuff of gi joes as webgear?, i was wondering if anyone knows how to sculpt and cast their own webgear?

eg what chemicals to use for the flexible plastic and how to make a cast of the original sculpt, in order to reproduce it?

Mal. you will need to make a a mold,you can use smooth-ons moldmax 15 t,and then you can cast it in clear flex 50 also made by smooth on. If you have pics of what vest you are trying to mold,i will set up some pics of how to mold it for ya.

Molding and casting is awesome for customs and something that needs to be shared how to do.
