Hi
As the subject line says I'm new to moulding so here I am.
My reason for being here may sound strange to some, but I think its a good idea and I need some guidance as to where to start and what techniques I can use.
I live in Lincoln which has a big Cathedral (No, I don't want to cast that) a castle and some Roman ruins and it also has a waterway running all the way through the middle of it. We have the Fossedyke Canal (Built by those invading Roman chappies) running from Torksey in the west coming into the Brayford (an inland port) and the River Witham which meanders its way out to Boston Lock and the North sea.
Enough with the home guide. I want to mould a duck preferably in two halves as I want to insert some electrical gear inside it and join it together making it water proof so I can send it to mingle with other ducks. There was a program on TV last year where a film crew used a Penguin with a camera to mix with other penguins to take close-up film of their lives.
I want to do the same thing with a remote controlled duck as an experiment to see life from the birds point of view. I've ordered a full sized (Plastic) duck on Ebay so I'll have something to mould with, but I need experience from others who have already done this type of moulding before.
As I said earlier "You gotta start some where" so here I am.
Thanks a lot.
