Resin toys by Zack Soto
Hey guys, I just wanted to share some stuff I've been working on. I hesitate to post these here because I know I don't have a huge post count or whatever, but I spend so much time on here lurking & reading the back posts & soaking up as much information as possible, it almost feels weird not to at least throw these up and say "hey I did these." Hope you like them. So anyhow, I do a comic called the Secret Voice, and decided that for my first resin casting project, I'd make a troll from my comic. I made up a body & multiple heads & arms so I could make a bunch of varieties of Troll, and started casting them. Easter Trolls! by zacksoto, on Flickr I tend to jump feet first into stuff & it was probably a bigger project than I should have started with! I realized that after I saw just how much silicone making these molds was taking. I also got a little stumped about exactly how to finish them once I was getting my first pulls. So I went off for a bit and made a mini sized sculpt that would be easy to wrap my head around: In Progressin by zacksoto, on Flickr STAGE 2: paint layer 1 by zacksoto, on Flickr These little guys were fun to make and have their own back story which you can read a comic version of here. I've got some designs for more mini figures I want to make too. After I'd made some of those Ghost Grunts, I went back and finished off my first Troll. I'm pretty happy with how everything came out. Painted with Montana Matte spray & Cel-Vinyl paints. The head and one arm are articulated with magnets. He's 6" tall & about 5.5" wide. TROLL 01 by zacksoto, on Flickr TROLL 01 - chopper by zacksoto, on Flickr I definitely learned a lot from making these and obviously I'm still learning. Excited about my next sculpts but also trying to take a bit more time before committing to a mold. I've also got some Homebrew paints coming so I'll be trying out my airbrush on the next few.

Re: two sculpts by Ghost Attack
Great job! For your first time they look awesome. I like all of them, but i really like the troll. I like the crazy big arms. How are the arms and head connected to the body?

Re: two sculpts by Ghost Attack
Thanks! The head & arm are secured w/ rare earth magnets, and the big cyber arm is affixed with epoxy.

Re: two sculpts by Ghost Attack
Pretty cool stuff. Always interesting to see how someones 2D art translates over to an actual sculpt.
Any plans for making a "spit golem"? I could see myself trying to snag one of those if it matches the art.

Re: two sculpts by Ghost Attack
yeah, these looking really good for your first castings.
i'm wondering what pigments you are dying the resin with, since the colors don't look at all like standard pigments...?
nice work!

Those trolls are awesome! I'm looking forward to checking out your comic, too. It looks to be right up my alley.

Re: two sculpts by Ghost Attack
Thanks all for the kind words. atom gray wrote: i'm wondering what pigments you are dying the resin with, since the colors don't look at all like standard pigments...?
I picked up a sample pack of IGNITE pigments and think they're pretty cool. I don't use a whole lot in each pull, b/c I sort of like more translucent colors. With some of them I was also trying to mimic some swirly stuff like Healey Made does to much better effect. I still haven't gotten that down right yet. The milky purple-y body and heads turned out that way because I didn't properly mix the resin, I think? Filed under "happy accidents." Waterbear wrote: Any plans for making a "spit golem"? I could see myself trying to snag one of those if it matches the art. Good idea, I didn't even think of that! My next full sized figure I'm working on is a Dr. Galapagos to go with the Trolls, and I have another mini figure I'm working on ( this guy) that goes with the storyline of the Ghost Grunts, and then I might try my hand at a Spit Golem.. hm! anyways, thanks again for all the rad vibez, I'll post more when I have more.
