Wow that is a really cool DIY vid! I am sure there's got to be a way to accomplish that. Hmmm....

You know it dawned on me after I posted that a third plug wouldn't even be needed - all one has to do is pour silicone in without release agent to finish the last wall... since it's a roto mold, you just need to pour some material in one mold half before closing it up and spinning it.

That machine is quite ingenious. I love how people go to the touble of sharing what they have learned with others through the net.

I thought this one was cool just because it uses a clear mold to illustrate the fluid action inside... X-Ray Specs

For the torso. Wouldn't it be easier to cast a two part torso and glue it together?

I'd think it's way easier to get a hollow cast over making two molds and having pieces to glue together. I'm not sure if a hollow torso would be lighter than a two-part one, but easier and faster to make for sure.

I think the toy was called The Monster Machine snd you could make monster heads from it.

Roto-casting, is easy to do with just turning the mold with your hands. That's how I make hollow bodies. It is so simple...
