Jackson Tribute Characters On Their Way!



Great news! We are close to completing the first in the Jackson Tribute series characters. These characters are first carved out of wood, then cast out of a woodlike material to keep the quality of a wood character.

Many hours are spent in creating the molds. The head casting is only as good as the mold is. To begin, we take the wood head, build the clay bed and start to pour on the mold material. The next step is to create the mother mold, the mother mold is simply a shell to keep the mold rubber in its original shape.

The mouth mold is completed! As you can see from the photos, the first mouth has been cast out of the mold! The mouth on the right is the original, while the mouth on the left is the cast mouth. Identical! This is very crucial for everything to fit together and work well.
Keep watching these pages for updates on these extremely unique and high quality characters!
