For my newest mold, I took one ECW Minifigs body, and added a head from another Minifigs 1st gen figure. I plan to use it as a King Phillips War colonial figure.

| Painting on a thin layer of rubber onto the figures. I waited for a couple of minutes before adding more rubber. |

| Another layer of rubber painted on. |
 |
| Pouring the rest of the rubber into the mold. Once cured I use petroleum jelly on as a mold release, then pour the second half of the mold. |

Great figure you have created! I really look forward to seeing him painted up. He reminds me of black and white illustrations I know from the book "A skulking way of war."

Funny you should mention " A Skulking Way of War", as several of the illustrations in that book were the inspiration for the figures. The illustrations are originally from a book (that I have a copy of somewhere) that was from the later 1800's.
DeleteAgreed, nice conversion.
