Rammus Keychain

I’m still learning how to cast and mold, so I wanted to make something relatively easy to mold. I ended up making a miniature “chibi” version of Rammus from the game League of Legends. I started by sculpting it out of sulfur free clay.

After I refined it to my liking, I made a simple one part mold using a plastic cup. I had a trial kit of oomoo 30 from a Reynolds Advanced Materials seminar I took, so I used that for my mold.

The mold was then filled with another trial kit I had of smooth-cast 300.

It took me a few tries to figure out how to get rid of some of the bubbles that kept forming under the hands and on the spikes in the resin. I ended up pouring the resin slower along with rotating the mold allowing the bubbles to escape.

The miniature was then hand painted with acrylic paint. I also screwed an eye-hook into its foot so I could make it into a keychain.

Most of the methods I used for this project I don’t have a ton of experience with. So working on this I learned a lot.

This is a shorter post than most but I’m considering putting these little guys on etsy so if I do I will put a link on this page. If you’re looking for more of my work like this take a look at my Instagram @beet_creations for lots of progress photos.
