Owen Ojo De Lobo Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 ¿? What is this "envirotex"? The result is awesome, boy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Chelios Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 It is a two part epoxy resin clear coat mainly used on on wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaane Feinwong Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I think those are my favorites so far. Think you could slap together a how to? I think it would be popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Very nice, however did you make molds for these? The ones I have made are a bit of a pain in the ass (the reason I only have two currently). One recommendation though, the ice is too clean and clear. I might suggest a wash of Turqouise (GW Hawk Turqouise if you can find it or PP Turqouise Ink) to color it a bit more followed by some more snow.

Kaane Feinwong Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Also, find some bones or cavemen models and seal them up in the middle. Maybe a flying saucer or an old Ur Quan or something. Or an old gangster gun and hat for a Jimmy Hoffa reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Beautiful! It's a lot of Envirotex, but it's worth it Did you make the moulds yourself, too? EDIT: While Omenbringer's suggestion may be a good one, I love the look of these as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Look great! For quick and easy moulds, try "Amzing Mould Putty. You can get in the US at craft stores like michaels and Hobby Lobby. I think it retails for like $20, but you can find 40% and 50% off coupons for those stores pretty easily. Really easy to use, and would be perfect for a project like ice pillars.

Chev Chelios Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks guys. As much as I would like to say that it was a huge project,it really wasn't . The molds are Woodland Scenics rocks. Simply mixing the Envirotex adding the color and pouring into the molds. 24 hours to.set and pop them out. I let them dry for a few more days before I mess with them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
