    That joystick was burned off as he went lavaswimming. The sad thing is that he really got to use it only once, breaking the jedi code of "no women". No wonder he has got a weed up his ass instead.....

    The X1 body halves are finally modified, with additional internal supports and prepared for the skin mold.

    You must have cried, having to junk such beautiful molds. That will have added to the cost no doubt.

    Glad to see the new ones are so nice though. What a piece. Wow.

    It is all a part of the learning process - when i made those first molds i did not even know about pressure casting. I lost a lot of money, but that will not affect the price of the kit

    These are far from your first moulds though, right? They look extremely professional. Good moulds are beautiful things in their own right.

    I lost a lot of money, but that will not affect the price of the kit
    You are my hero.

    Are you using thixo in the new mould?

    Thixotropic additive, makes it "paintable". Looks like you're layering on silicone now instead of pouring, right?

    The upper half of the body is molded and cast. I also posted a picture of the molds i have made so far, just to show the size of the project.. This is why things take time...

    I cannot WAIT to see you (and this) at Wonderfest! SUCH a nice set of parts coming out of your workshop. It's a benchmark in "home brew" casting, as far as I'm concerned!
