Blizzard Entertainment

 

Traditionally sculpted, Grom is one of our favorite builds. He is made of epoxy and silicone, with translucent urethane teeth. Green, glowing blood can be seen dripping off the tip of the ax and throughout the piece while a water vapor effect accentuates the green LED glow from the slain creature at the base. All of Groms armour and accessories were hand sculpted. His pants are hand tooled with real leather and his hair and stubble hand punched.

 

As with all of our builds, the base and character is made to come apart into several pieces for optimal storage and transportation ability and reassembles  with minimal tools and time requirements.

Early shot of the rough out. This was done in medium pink castilene.

Finding the best point to pin each part can be very tricky. Sometimes detail has to be resculpted into the casting during cleanup. Don't forget to draw parting lines to follow when cutting the parts out of silicone.

It takes time and patience to cut up enough sizes, but it's better than running out of blocks in the middle of a mold job.

Make sure you have at least a 1/2" clearance between your part and the mold wall.

Save silicone, it can be cut into chunks and used as filler for future molds. I always have an open mold box filled with small chunks that gets filled with any excess left over.

Banding straps are needed to hold everything together.

An example of the Gorehowl blade raw casting.

Fresh Grommash Hellscream castings ready for cleanup.

Molding/casting requires a lot of supplies. I keep a stockpile of steel pins in various sizes, rubber bands to hold molds together, plastic syringes to help push urethane into tricky molds, plastic cups, mixing sticks and nitrile gloves. I use baby powder to lightly coat the molds to reduce wear/tare. I often use acrylic blocks to evenly distribute the pressure from the rubber bands to avoid casting distortion.
