Very NICE buddy. Very purty. Very nice use of the new Dark Shadows head. BTW--I have finally, after long last, started my Paul Naschy Wolfman mego custom. I think he wants to come and beat up your Dark Shadows werewolf when he's done! Actually.. knowing Naschy, he's probably be going to be more interested in what your Barbie's are up to. :)

Incidentally, "rotocast" works like this: as I understand it, the mold is a solid pece of metal without a mold seam. They start it spinning very fast (hence "roto"), and, while spinning, hot vinyl is injected into the mold. The centripetal force pushes the vinyl to the sides of the metal  mold where it takes shape and prevents air bubbles from forming. Then, while the vinyl is starting to set, but still warm, the head is plucked from the mold by the stem. It assumes its normal shape and finishes cooling and then is ready for painting.

I used to do a "poor man's" rotocast by placing a mold in the spokes of a bicycle wheel turned on it's side and spinning it. But the process of pressure casting that Austin Hough taught me works much more reliably.

Best,

Matt



Thanks Matt!
