Boy - that is so much pink it looks like a bubble gum factory! What a major production. It is a passion of love for sure . And a major investment in both the money and time department .. the challenge is the mould making the final product is the reward 😬 |

Very cool!!! What would you figure the full cost of the kit would be in resin? It takes roughly 1 hour per piece from cast to clean up.. about 40 pieces equals approx. 40 hours . The time is one thing and best I estimate in resin alone is about 1 1/4 pounds .. there’s also cost in all the pink RTV rubber, 2 weeks worth of laying the moulds out, time pouring EACH SIDE of the moulds , large mixing containers, gloves, respirator, clay, mixing cups , sticks , vacuum pot , vacuum pump , over 2,000 Legos , and mold release agent .. doesn’t this sound like fun!! Lol |
