Warsmith Aznable Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This looks like Oyamaru. Is it the same stuff under a different brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I've tried Instant Mold and I couldn't see any difference between it and Oyamaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I just bought a pack of this stuff, I'll try it out, and let y'all know how it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crandall87 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I've tried Instant Mold and I couldn't see any difference between it and Oyamaru. That's because it's repackaged Oyamaru. I have both and they are 100% identical. Of course Oyamaru is cheaper and comes in lots of nice colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firespyer Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Think this would work for creating TL Autocannon arms for a Dread? be nice to only have to buy 1 Aegis Defense kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeninja Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have been working with this stuff on and off and for a few weeks and I have not had alot of success. It might work better for one sided stuff but the bits I have tried have not come out looking very well. I am using GW Green Stuff with the Instamold. None of the axe heads or guns I have tried have come out looking usable or to a good standard. If anyone has any tips or better success I could use the help.

klueless101 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I used this stuff coupled with some Forgeworld pieces and was able to use this stuff magnificently... I recommend it to anybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserTJ1860 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just fancied reviving this thread, How does the instant mold stand up to a more 2D modeling? By this I primarily mean the raised detailing on some of the SM pauldrons (grey knights, paladins and the FW products) Best, TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekoi Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It (Oyamaru) captured near full detail of a daemonprince's pauldron and of the leg armor of the necrosphinx. They were only a bit shoddy because they were my first attempts, and I actually was trying to NOT capture all the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekoi Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Here you are, pics. Only one of note is the chest piece, as it's the only unaltered cast, and was my first attempt with the tools too. Not to shabby, I'd say. http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4305/doops.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserTJ1860 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 So the mold doesnt work too well for the finer details of the shoulder guards? My hope was to be to use the instant mold to make copies of my diy chapter's emblem to save me having to hand paint them time and time again. Do you reckon the product will be useful for that?

Narse Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have done well using full blown resin casting techniques for shoulder pads, not sure about this product in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserTJ1860 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 sorry, my mistake. I was in a bit of a rush when I glanced over the response. Thanks for the pics in any case. If i have in any way as much success as you then this will be a product worth getting. Thanks and sorry again mate, TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl4d Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Can you put 2 pieces back together if you cut them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpet Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 That looks quite nice! I reckon some GS would be all that's needed to re-create the little details on the parts. How much for and where can you purchase this instant mold?! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleth Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 to throw my two cents into the mix. I've used this to recreate some GK weapons as I want to use halberds in my non GK army. So after making some fracked up molds and misaligned re do's I've started to be able to create full on replicas of weapons. It takes some work and a little/lot of fore thought on how to create the mold but once done it seems to work well. Also on skinnier stuff be ready to use armatures or tougher hardening agents than just Green Stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 For all the UK users out there, cheapest I've found online is Oyumaru at Fred Aldous, only £4.90 for 6 sticks compared to gifts for geeks etc where it seems to go as instamold for around £12 for 6 stick. Only thing Fred Aldous didn't make clear was that £4.90 didn't include VAT, but still, I bought 2 sets, one clear and one blue, and it still only came to £12.50. Thats twice as much product for nearly the same price as instamold. Found this Oyumaru shop and it was £6.70 which at first glance from the pic was a good deal, as it looks like you get 10 sticks....nope, just 6. Cheeky misleading so and so's. Also found this creative glass oyumaru. It's cheap but you get the rainbow of colours, which may be a bother to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Apologies for the Threadomancy, but has anyone considered using Liquid GS with this stuff? Would it work? I only ask as I thought it might be a viable alternative for those of us who have little experience with conventional GS.... I'm asking as I'd like to make shoulder guards with my DIY Chapters' symbol on it and thought it might be easier than using regular GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is highly unlikely that you could cast anything with Liquid Greenstuff. It's not even Greenstuff, per se. It's a gap filler with green tint added to it. Even if you did fill a mould with it (which would cost you a fortune), the resulting item would shrink as the liquid dries, and would be pretty brittle. You'd likely break it removing it from the mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
