    is this the right Smooth On plastic? Flexibility -wise?

    Smooth-On's TASK® 13 semi-rigid resin

    It comes in black and is flexible.

    I dont want black but I want flexible.

    I cant make poseable store like toys with just hard resin. MArvel legends, Star Wars, Mego all have a semi flexible resin.

    I wanna make a Star Wars vintage type figure. Hard resin front and back torso, soft rubbery for the arms legs and head.

    Task 13 is expensive. i just wanted to double check here. Black? Yuk. Pax paint I guess will fix that.

    Remember what I NEED is flexible just like our store bought toys. hard resin is no good for making a poseable figure.

    Hmmmm....

    Smooth-On DOES make a good flexible plastic.... but I don't remember the brand name! It can be dyed, and is normally a pale white/cream/semi-clear colour. I used it to make squishy Space Glider helmets.
