SES CreativePlaster Casting and Painting Dinosaurs Craft Kit

This is a great set and contains everything you need to make your first three models. Especially good value at 50% off on a warehouse deal :-)

Whilst it has been fun and easy to create the casts, after painting and adding the glow in the dark paint, we were disappointed that it will not glow. We tried putting under a strong light for hours and then it still didn't glow. Still great fun regardless.

Good

As previously reviewers have pointed out, the instructions on the box are awful..So I will explain my method, for anyone else considering purchasing this kit..Do not mix the plaster inside the moulds, as the box indicates. Get a measuring jug (I bought a cheap plastic one) and mix the plaster in that, and once mixed, pour it into the moulds.I initially used 2 parts plaster to 1 part water... I found it to be quite thick, so I gradually added a little extra water until the consistency was right. You want it to be like thick smooth gravy, so that it freely pours from the jug.I found the little plastic combs that come with the set would easily fall apart, so I used small elastic bands to hold them together.Once assembled into a box frame, put the combs over a large mug, and hang the silicone mould onto the combs so that it's dangling down into the mug.Pour the plaster in as smoothly as possible to prevent air bubbles. Give the moulds a couple of gentle taps to ensure it gets down into all nooks, and to also remove any air bubbles.I left it for about 2 to 3 hours, then removed the plaster from the moulds. Then once out of the moulds, left them for 24 hours before painting.The detail on the dinosaurs is fantastic. Me and my son had a lot of fun painting them. I thought the T-Rex looked a little too friendly, so painted him to look like a famous TV dinosaur.

Very realistic molds, having lots of fund with it.
