silicone moulding with BB

At first glance, I thought the thing on the right was a strangely shaped cheese that you were slicing, BB.

Joking aside, I’m still blown away by your incredibly creative, meticulous and prolific work.

Santi.

Oh my, it makes me feel guilty when I see how much work is invested in molding and casting here. I think I'm a lazy guy who's happy when he can buy the ready-made models he needs. But I admit that it is great fun making your own moulds, and watching this tutorial is very entertaining!

It was from 1836 that the Grave digger Gabriel Grub,arrived upon such a BB, tutorial as this... and he being from a Dickens classic story! The light flickered away flooding this strange place,he cared little for. He wondered why he had ended up here instead of the grave yard ,which usually was just behind his back door of pure evil. He had been trying hard to escape the Goblins within a Dicken's classic Christmas tale, but as he fled from them. beyond such an evil looking door he, had arrived instead upon Benno's Figure Forum,way into the future. ''This ain't good''. WingNut muttered as he realised what had just happened,''No not good at all''.

The pulsating rhythm of the Lantern rings of time transcends such a darkness that swollowed up such a Grub as poor cast adrift Gabriel, but i alone cast little doubt if he will return home to his time. Because it was i who sent him there wherever he ended up..
Jolly good he was such a bad egg! Rang out Mr Green. 'Well,don't send me there BB'. Said WingNut, for he had no taste for such a darkness spread out wherever Old nasty Grub was. 'And me a-nall', mentioned the Cowboy who had good sound reason to think back upon such a place as a lost world because he knew of it first hand. what lost world could that be? Asked the rather shy Little Button. who always speaks in lower case letters.
i'mmmmm! There is no answer to reveal at this time.
ok bb.



parting agent is revealed. ha6 too! Eh! Where is that then? Asked WingNut. high above for all to see. And the first half of the mould is turned over on it's back Pard's! My O My! Look at that... a very fogy WingNut asked all those that he could not see. So that being the bright case the Lego box is built up now with the bricks being upside down. What an odd thing to do... WingNut muttered. It is a simple master class process of understanding passed along... mentioned the very well read and wise Book Worm.










Entry in the Log, These two were made ready for filling! My O My! that well read Bookworm,sure keeps the ingoings and outgoings in proper prime time place.

And so it was that two months passed me by and the reason set out is below.

Now onwards to my time and past events of recent climbs! i,and my Dearest Mrs B, have certainly been upon a see-saw of events! Builders about our home fixing a special Wet room, Shower and WC for me in my decline, but i always with my adventurous wit of banter, irony and intelligence got along well with all those guys doing that work.
As for myself,i hurt,and i am quite frail but my mind still leaps away making appointments my body cannot keep. However with all the builders now gone leaving us with a huge new shower and pull down metal supports to aid me about this happy place,i refuse to do nothing! That would be dire deadly for little old me. So i am once more writing again of some very wierd adventures within time and space.... And i managed some hobby style tinkering with my new Lego Bricks,a snap together feature in my return to mould making boxes and towering ancient columns that now for the first ever time will see daylight that will harden them off a little each day.







Upon this one along with others upon the production line,i placed the smaller Lego bricks within the mould to form lots of lock tight fixing points that would perfectly fit my needs to help guied these ancient two part moulds.

There are also two white resin odd sides,that i will define as cradles that the patterns can be refixed upon and into snug place,as i then rebuild the moulding boxes thus saving time by not having to start again from scratch.





Because of the oilly nature of the finished moulds it can be rather tricky removing these plastic bricks but tipped upside down the Lego holes are in sight. And in my case a small paint brush helped dismantle the boxes in such a simple quick way. So being upside down... and topsy turvy means life for bb,is simply much easy'er..... It do? It sure does.



i wonder just how these will turn out. Well Pards, i reckon 4 sure that they will soon to be revealed. i have an ill feeling about these. don't be silly Well i say'Ride on Pards,what ever will be,will be.



'Like tall Sentinels they stand casting giant shadows that turn turn during each passing day'

Which reminded me that there is a reason to turn, turn, turn... that is the byrds and here is the link.https://youtu.be/W4ga_M5Zdn4



i desided to make two odd sides and so after constructing the Lego boxes,i then brushed on my mixture i use for casting up,and i brushed it onto the bottem and sides to seal them so when casting them the mixture would not be forced into the hollow bricks. Cleaning those would be a day time nightmare!
the reason is that this saved bb,a heap of money because silicone and other added things costs a fare bit. Ride on BB,i agree that there was no need to be reckless in your spending.



See the solid sight after casting them up Eh,Oh My!
But y,Burp! BB, Look! He's hissed again. Just add the P to that to realise the situation.

Well Guys i hope you drop in to view again soon.
Perhaps upon the next update?
Stay safe,stay well and help others if you can. BB

PING! The size of a postage stamp! BB

Inspite of small sized picture the hobby style endeavor continues in more ways than just one. BB

[sberry]

As always, it is very entertaining to watch the progress here.
I see a lot of creativity, and a lot of perseverance, too.
And I also see a lot of Lego bricks in fancy colors that were completely unheard of in my childhood days...

[Beano Boy]

Well SBerry, there were certainly no Lego bricks in my childhood timeline either, but being ancient of days, the money that rolls in each week help finance my ecentric oddities as all my adventures unfold leaving heaps of cluttered mess.But above all these things... There is Great Happiness living with my Dear Mrs B. BB

[Santi Pérez]

I couldn't agree more with Stephan, BB, both when it comes to entertainment and to creativity and perseverance. Great work!

Santi.

Hopefully this picture will show what was fully going on as i coated the Vaseline on the mould's which is the cheapest release compound on the market for my type of making do with what is cheaper by the ounce
''That is a good idea! bb.'' ''Eh! what is?'' But BB,will that stuff remain upon the castings produced ? ''No my silicone rubber moulds are washable!'' Yes, that is very true. Mentioned the bright little button. However Mrs B's, washing up liquid sure runs out super fast! Mentioned Mr Green ''But,Why is that then?'' Asked dizzy WingNut. ''Well i like 2 call it spreading the cost!'' Well,i think Lard is ha lot cheaper...burp! Well it's cheaper not use anything! Yes and have a solid hard stuck together two part mould no one could open.

Well Guys, i got the full picture on my spot this time.
i'll see U all later... If i don't perhaps i'll see you sooner. BB

[Beano Boy]

while considering keeping bit's and pieces of the odds and ends left over. One might say that our BB, is suffering from paraphernalia! I believe you can get tablets for that. Eh! BB,on tab's never?
I could use a few,tab's myself, Burp!



As one must understand casting up moulds be they Silicone Rubber or indeed of some other made material ,Well there is wastage which to many might seem unimportant, and so it might fly directly into the land fill bin? Not for for little i,for i use it upon photo~shoots to add to the atmosphere of my own written sci fi adventures of which there are many. So rather than hasterly dumping such left over dusty stuff i save it heaped up in plastic bags in order to aid my arts and craft endeavours in my humble hobby. It helps if one is a little crazy when trying to understand the enigma patterns of BB.s colour coded mind. It do? It most certainly does.



The garden is certainly a jungle with large shrubs and tree's surrounding our little white house in Fiddle Wood UK,where Mrs B,and little large i, well over large really ... do live a snug peaceful free lifestyle here in Norwich.

along with bella their super cool dog.




For the past few weeks each day i'd make two columns from each mould i made in order to help aid the arts and crafts in others. Those castings were placed outside upon our old cast iron table.
I'll put the pictures later on, on the Internet and see them simply fly all over the world... a something that i as a little boy or even as a young man could never envisage!



Of course there are other castings deep set into place within cold water that are getting harder and harder, by each passing day. Well Pard's. There is something added to the water!
Eh! What? Yes indeed there is a certain something added taught to me by a very wise man. He was a Master at his craft and i met him in the August of 1964,when i was 15 years young. He helped shape my life and he taught me many things as i traveled the City & Guilds Engineering Apprenticeship pathway of six years upon a very low wage.
BB.was poor? He sure was.
However soon after it all, it did help open other more adventurous doorways to me in my long life.BB

i down sized my photo by 32 and it arrived here in one piece.

''These ancient bit's and pieces all of 48 hours old,were pressed into glob leftover's from casting up stuff, to form little ruins settled nicely upon a little base that went rockhard! i have a worktable under the stairs that stands in our stone clad hallway. That metal table is heavily reinforced and overlaid with an oblong thick bullet proof glass which is the size of my front door.It took four people to lift it into place. And it is a remnant left over from my days of Service! '' So it and him,are very old''.mentioned Mr Green. '' A few days ago i laughed out aloud so much that i nearly fell over, as i made mention to my Mrs B,that i had concreted my rubber moulds to that self same glass topped table.''
'' That is just classic BB!'' Mr green laughed out.
'bb,is so eccentric in an old fashioned nice way,of making do with what he has.' " Or what is often left over from what he once had,in the first place,Pard's!'' The Cowboy said who always sleeps in his boots!
''Very true,he makes massive mess and then uses it to fit the diagram patterns floating about in his fancy!''
' Eh! He does?' ''Sure he does.''said Mr Green.
The well read,highly polished Bookworm,chimed in, ''Let me look up such a behaviour in this old book, Ah! yes it is called, a Mind Map, stepping out progressive thought pattern's of directive algarithums!''
So BB,is sort of smart? Asked WingNut!
And after a slight pause the Little Button,who always speaks in lower case letters replied ''no he simply is a fellow of art who thought out and wrote of what it would've been like to have lived near the bakery of 'thomas ferriner', down pudding lane London in 1666.''

in this brief moment i have one more tide coming in flurry to make. Everything mentioned here is totally true!

Stay safe,
Stay well.
And help others if you can. BB

SAMPLE TEST in REDUCTION METHOD

It would be most helpful for me, if you could voice comment,Yes I can see full pictures placed in this spot?
Or no i cannot see the full pictures? Why well i am struggling now to post my full sized pictures.








i have found it quite an interesting adventure governing the way that i could view my photograph's that little i placed here and elswhere.....Well i simply had to reduce my screen size down to 50%. i post this to help other Benno Knight members who place their hobby style efforts here upon this magical forum, but also for the thousands that visit us all each day as it passes by into history. As for myself i want only to help others who might be presented with the great loss of viewing in full what ever it might be presented here.... So i wish them all well in their endeavours to post and all who visit us too.

This is another column that is under production...
way,down deep within the evergeen woodland of simplistic ways.







we hope that you can now all view these picture in full ?

It looks very good Paul!
