I just saw this vid from a miniature maker that I find very talented. . In the vid she's making soda bottles, but the techniques could be used to make any sort of lab bottle -

Re: Making bottles
Thanks for sharing this! Interesting, it's basically the heat-and-smash technique. I thought at the beginning, that she was making a mold to use to cast with clear resin.
I've messed around with shape clear sprue, too.
I have also been thinking about making drinking glasses, especially wine glasses. I can see using smash molding to do that. I have a ton of clear plastic sheeting, from things like packaging for dress shirts, to clear plastic packaging from groceries. I think it would work pretty easily, hmm.......

Re: Making bottles
Glad the vid was of some use.
Frank, yep she's amazing at her creations. Not too long ago she created a blender out of polymer clay. Someone making a Frankenstein lab, should make a blender like that and then see if anyone notices. Hehe

Re: Making bottles
You´re right! When I see such stuff like the refridgerator or the Laptop, done from sculpey, I go crazy! When I see it right, she sells her stuff on exhibitions for Doll houses. She does NOT make castings so far, it is all one of a kind!
