Hi folks,
There are a number of blaster currently on heritage auctions and I’ve noticed between those, blasters in the archives, and even a few lightsabers… they’re not resin casts.
Like.. I understand resin casting, using rubber to make the mold and pouring in liquid. I’ve even seen some members like poopapapapalps make shell casts by turning the mold and letting it drip.
How are these solid (mildly hollow) blaster molds made? Wouldn’t you see the fibers on the outside of the cast? I’ve never seen this done and am curious how it’s made. They look brittle but probably are more lightweight than a solid resin piece
Thank you!
