Very nice setup Boss. Thanks for sharing your process. You mentioned you are casting in one piece thus avoiding the seam mark. Are you suspending the pieces or mounting/gluing to a base and then pouring? For example..you are casting the bottom calf portion of the leg...how is it positioned for your mold pour? I have done two sided casting for pieces but always have to deal with the seams.Comment

the way I was taught was to take some Magic Sculpt (or similar product) and create a small "stand" for your piece to set on during the molding process. These "stands" usually end up being about the size and rough shape of a pencil eraser.
In the case of a lower leg I'm more concerned with the knee joint coming out clean than the ankle, so I tend to attach the ankle of the original part to the "stand". Then you take a PVC fitting that will fit around your part comfortably and also glue that to the stand. Pour your de-gassed mold material... and viola.
once you demold the part, you'll have a little reservoir where the "stand" was in which to pour the casting material. If you're casting under pressure or in a vacuum, you want to fill that up a little bit because you'll need some excess material to fill the area displaced during casting.Fresh, not from concentrate.Comment
