These links definitely helped when Cliff and I were starting out with monstrehero. I have a few pics of us pouring a mold; I'll post them with a little write-up soon.
these links are well worn on my end as well. dan perez is amazing, i love the slimer repro. i also recommend taking a class or tutorial with somebody that has experience. having a space to mess up and supplies someone else gives you PLUS supervision while you do it is priceless. i took a short course at thecrucible.org with billy hibbert, it was great
I was pretty shocked that the site is gone! I had printed out all the tutorials and needed to reference one of them, come to find out I lost over 100 pages of tutorials ( don't know where they are ) figured I go back to the site a couple weeks ago and it's gone =[
if the resurrection of this information helps just one of you guys to produce the next amazing toy, then we all win
