Hi /toy/ I just got a model, pic almost related. So... what do I do now? I'd also like to do some molds to recast it later and have an army of little Zakus.

Any advice? Useful links? Tutorials? Thanks in advance.

Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Dick Blick, most brick & Mortar craft stores have some sort of molding and casting section.
Hobby Lobby + 40% coupon = 16oz of A+B resin for $10.

On recasting the parts, don't even bother thinking you'll have a bunch of moveable Zaku copies. This will be much too time consuming to replicate all the moveable parts. You're better off making fix-posed molds.

I was thinking about that. I'm not sure what OP is going for. First off the MG has a ton of parts so recasting all the parts is futile. Recasting just the shape would require gluing parts and "filling" in all the gaps which would make most or not all of the joints useless.

OP here. Yes, I was just thinking about armies of standing Zakus, nothing else, I'm a complete noob in this and I'm not that pretentious.

However, I did think about doing molds of the whole set of pieces before I cut them (pic related, I forgot the name) I'm not sure it would work, and also there is a chance I will just ruin a perfectly fine model.

Could this work?
