After a few weeks of work, I've finally completed a new platinum silicone mold set of my Tofu Kirin. The original tin cure silicone mold was one of the first I made, so I was inexperienced when I did so, as such the mold never really worked right, constantly producing casts that were missing vital bodyparts (like heads and legs.)
I took my absolute best tofu resin and refined it, redoing the hooves and hair around them, resculpting the neck and, most importantly, resculpting the left side of the face.
This completed modes was cut into three parts and each part was molded separately. The head and neck have their own two-part mold, the body has one enormous mold, and best of all he has a looooong (over 7") tail, which is also from a two-part mold.

The reason the original Tofu resins cost so much was because the mold very rarely produced a viable piece and even then they required a lot of extra sanding and work as the original model's surface was unrefined. The new tofu though was polished to a nice eggshell finish before casting. And the new molds seem to be producing viable pieces every go, so as such the new prices are as follows:

KIT- $50 USD (consisting of one head and neck, one body, and one tail which can be assembled with super or epoxy glue, and may require small amounts of epoxy putty or other self hardening material and sanding to make the seams seamless.
or
ASSEMBLED- $65 (Consisting of the model fully assembled using Smooth-On Super Instant Epoxy and all seams completed and sanded.)

A completed Tofu resin weighs 1lb and measures 11" long, so shipping prices will be based on your location.


They are being produced now, and are ready to go.
I will not be offering these models painted or customized for a set price at this time. However if you wish to commission a custom resin, please contact me :)
