Muddy Secrets Tutorial

[Dark Rogue]

Thanks a lot for the pic, Sigma, I just ordered one off of ebay and it's on its way right now. And just so I don't waste space in both topics, your Hayabusa looks like it's doing well!

Ok so I have a quick question. In the first post your helm looks like it already has another material applied to the pep model before you poured on the mud. I was wondering if that was resin and primer or did you apply something else first? I am working on Robo's hand plates and was thinking of trying this process on them.

Thanks

P.S. Post #1 !!

I believe that the helmet has just been fiberglassed and primed.

But when I&#39;m sanding it, my power sander makes big holes in the mud. Dunno why.

You can sand with a dremel?

Probably too much air trapped in the mud. Nothing a little bondo glaze won&#39;t fix. Try adding a little more resin to your future batches and see if that doesn&#39;t help.


You can sand the basic shape with a dremel but the final sanding must be done with some type of power sander or sandpaper/sanding sponge

that looks really good for making the smooth shapes. Better have a steady hand and something of an artists eye though.
