So here is the pic of the mold filled with resin, with tape wrapped around to keep the mold together from leaking...

And then take the pieces from the mold:

As we can see, the headband for the head didn't get casted properly, but the body turned out really well, except that i cut the leg too short...
So got time to play around with the mold, and somehow ended up with 5 pig heads on my table...



and with 4 bodies...

Note that some of the area didn't get casted well, especially the ears area.
However, one of the head I casted turned out good enough, just few small fix and stuff. So what I'm going to do now is going to fix up the one I'm happy with and make a new mold to fix few air bubble problems. Then hopefully I can start paint them if the casts turned out well with the new mold!

Nice results! This is very interesting, I really want to try this out myself too. Do you have any pics of the mold negative?
Where can I get the mixture for the resin?
You mean inside the mold? Right now no because I can't really take a pic of the mold without breaking it... For the resin, is the same band as the material for the mold, called Smooth-on. They have variety types of resins, so you might have to do some research on your own to figure out what type fits you the best.
