Resource Manual for Molding and Casting
The Resource Manual for Molding and Casting began years ago as a passion project to create a comprehensive guide for artists, prop builders, special effects creators, and stop-motion enthusiasts. While the finished book was never completed, the original 1st Draft has recently been rediscovered after being thought lost forever.
This draft is text-only — with no illustrations, photos, or diagrams — but it captures the foundation of the manual in its earliest form. It covers sculpting, mold making, casting techniques, and materials like latex, silicone, urethanes, resins, and foams, along with several project walkthroughs.
To preserve this piece of history, the draft has been made available here as a special 3D flipbook format. You can explore it online, but downloads and printing are disabled to keep it exclusive to Stop Motion Magazine readers.
Future updates will include a fully illustrated, modernized edition, expanding the content with new materials, methods, and step-by-step guides.
