Hello

There's a lot of tutorials on making sculpting and moulding your own models. I have an idea for some parts that I'd like to make out of a transparent material.

Does anyone know of any resin or other casting material that is available that is transparent? Anything that I can make see-through casts from?

Thanks!

I remember seeing something a long time ago about someone who casted a clear lictor. Can't remember too much more about the post other than it looked _really_ cool. Maybe someone else remembers it better than I...

Hobbycraft sell some clear resin for jewellery making which would do the job fairly well. The biggest problem with it though would be air bubbles. If you dont have a vacuum system setup to pull out the air bubbles, I would be hesitant to recommend trying it.
