Wow the results are stunning!  :o  :wow:

I've read the article on your Web site how to make these molds and would really like to try this by my own. So I own some Lego parts  ;D, the items I want to mold (for sure  ;)), but I'm missing the silicone and the plastic for the mold. Do you have some contact data how to receive the material you named on your site? (I've found the company which makes the fluids, but the haven't any ordering/online shop on their site.)
What kind of wax do you use? Is this just simple candle wax? What do you mean when you say "spray some loosen wax" -- how can wax be sprayed?
Where do you get the pigments from?

Would be nice if you can give me some hints.

Those are really amazing.  Unless you know, it's impossible to tell where Playmo ends and Macgay starts.  Maybe they should sue you or charge you royalties! ;D

AMAZING !! :wow:

Those hats are (or were?) such rare items!!
Does the paint stick good on them?
And is the plastic of equal quality as the original?

Imagine building very large lego-moulds! You could reproduce everything!!  :yippee:

Hello, Michael ...

You appear to be having a really wonderful time making your own Klicky parts.

I remember the very first time that I made a copy of a Playmobil part that was no longer available. It was a great feeling to know that I could make a mould and casting of any discontinued part that I wanted.

I also remember how it felt to create an original part that Playmobil had never made. Realizing that I could make anything that I wanted, gave me a phenomenal sense of freedom!

Looking at your imaginative collection of custom Klickys, Michael, it is easy to see that you are fully enjoying the fantastic freedom that moulding and casting can give you!

What will be interesting is to see is how far you will go with creating your own Playmobil. Will you someday create and cast your own original MacGayver Pirate Ship ... ;)

Thanks for sharing and all the best,
Richard

WOW great work,

 I would of thought that the spiked helmet would of been too difficult to reproduce, but what an amazing replica that is.  :)
