I use MMS naked 3rd gen fresh ver.2 small
Head part use figma Fate Movie1st and twin tails hair from trading figure
Face part I use resin to copy figma Nanoha & Fate movie1st. I have 6 resin face. I never know anything about resin , until this time.
For armor part, I use original part from trading figure and epoxy putty
In comic and anime, fighting is not significant ,so she don't have exact weapon. Now I give her Arnval Pistol that I copy by resin.

from simple project become the hardest project that used 10 months because of resin and eye repaint. Both of them is my first time. thanks many japan website that teach how to make resin part.
I've been thinking about using some resin casting for a future project. Useful, if messy technique. Did you go with a silicon based mold or something else?
I used silicone mold. Silicone that I used is German silicone artist grade. Silicone is the best choice for mold, it can use 10-20 time, and very good in detail.
But it has other choice such as Japan eraser kit. This eraser sales on 100 yen shop too, very cheap mold and recycle easily. Just put it in hot water and press on original piece and you get resin mold
The eraser mold is suitable for simple part but not high detail. You just drop it in the boil water and wait until it melt, then you can use it like modelling clay.
The first link is easy, he want to copy detail up part for his Zaku. Then he made Lego block and put original piece at the center. He boil eraser and press it in Lego block over and over again to make sure eraser fill in that block and no space left, wait for cool down, then he get mold for resin cast.
This guy use it for copy Oorbellen face, but he use epoxy putty to cast instead of resin.
this guy use hot glue gun to melt eraser into jell and shoot it on original piece to make mold. I think this trick will get better detail than boil it to clay state. And when you want to recycle you just boil it in water again, and make it into stick form for hot glue gun. http://www.fg-site.net/archives/post_old/156373
But if you want to copy high detail or mass production, I prefer silicone than eraser
