A blog about my exploration of the idea of Robots and the advancement of human replication. I will be developing work towards making my own robot which will be modelled on myself. The themes of the dangers of technology and immortalising people in robot form will be explored.

The head is cast!
I coated the mould with washing liquid so that the two silicones didn't stick and then I painted Gel-10 silicone onto the inside of the two mould halves. I then placed the foam core into the mould to save using a lot of silicone and then put the mould together and filled it with silicone. When the silicone had cured I removed the cast and trimmed any excess silicone. The cast came out with a flawed mould line as the two mould halves didn't fit together properly because the head core was too big, so I had to cut the head apart and re-glued it. This, however, gave me the opportunity to fit the eyes accurately whilst the face was separate from the head. If I was to repeat this I would create the head core more accurately.
