All the doggy things I've been making recently want to be called "Wuff".

This is a polyurethane resin cast of the sculpey original (on left at the bottom). The mould (not shown here) is one-piece in stretchy silicone of a variety called Tufsil 11. Tufsil is the second kind of silicone I've tried to work with. The first was called Ultrasil, and it was much runnier when liquid. Expecting the Tufsil to be similar, I first tried to make the mould by pouring the silicone over the original, but this didn't work because the Tufsil came down in big blobs, and trapped several air bubbles against the original (which, of course, became blobby tumours on the casts). On the second attempt, I glued the underside of the original to some strips of cardboard and suspended it in the silicone instead. This worked very nicely, although when I cracked open the cup I'd used, I found some unreacted silicone still in the bottom.

The point of making these little dudes is to have a cute generic animal figurine that people can buy and paint up like their fursona. Might have to be byo paint, but I can coat them in some sort of primer, at least. I have to make a feline one next. Thinking about making some glue-on extras like wings as well.
