Well more to the point: we want to help you in a process that will also help us!
How?
Quite simply actually: we have acquired and masterred the tools for creating pro-grade silicon moulds for the purpose of casting resin copies of sculpts!
We are aware that casting is a whole different ball game than sculpting and painting, and not every painter is a sculptor, just as not every sculptor is a caster. Those of you who are already assiduous followers of our endeavours know that we are mad enough to manage to be all three!
So if you have sculpted your masterpiece, and want to share it around, have been told "you so should cast that thing!", or want to make yourself some cash by commercialising your creation: then this campagne will be your next stop!
Now because we are based in France we chose a crowdfunding platform that seems to be one of the favourites in this country, but that does not exclude others! This platform is called Ulule, and functions exactly like Kickstarter or Indiegogo.
So what are we offering?
Lower tier participations are gratified with a range of our existing models and products at preferential prices. These tiers range between 5 and 16€.
Starting from a 26€ participation we will start making moulds of your sculpts for you to produce copies of your wonderful creations!
Obviously rising tiers of participations get even better! With our best offer being: your "monster" mould + 2 casts unpainted + 1 cast painted and based by us for you!
It should go without saying that all participations will recieve mounds of thanks for their support in the form of a "Benefactors Roll of Honour" that will appear on this blog and our website. (If you want to support us but don't want your name shown, that is fine just let us know!)
So here is the gear we have invested in!:
Pressure pots, to cast nigh bubble free copies of your prized creation |
vaccuum chamber, to create perfect moulds of your artworks |
To give you an idea: this is what appears at the end of the process:
from left to right: the original sculpt - the two part mould of the original - a resin cast thereof! |
So we have all the gear! We will not need to wait for any equipment deliveries once our campgne is successful! The only thing we will need is to order the required amounts of silicon and resin, and these will be delivered to us within two days of ordering.
This is not a project that promises to deliver simply according to a hope or a plan: we will deliver quickly and professionnally because we know we can and have the tools to do it!
So dig out that sculpt you are proud of, think what you could do with a few copies of it, and the possibility of turning your support for us into an investment for you!
