Cobra Commander: Retaliation

It's finally all done and I started the final production molds this weekend.

All the parts are being molded with one piece glove molds so that all the seam lines will be on the inside for easy cleaning.
 
Molds are done and the first casts run. Just need to finish tweaking the vacuum form buck so that the visor fits right and it's off to the races.

And before you ask, I'm just using the white styrene for test fitting the visors. I'm saving the clear plastic for the final parts.
 
Wow Ozymndius!!!...it's painfully Awesome how Great You are and this double dose of updates! Hmm...All the parts are being molded with one piece glove molds curious what that means...maybe I can goggle it...definitely Learned a lot from following this Amazingly, Awesome, Bulid.

This is a glove mold.

Instead of being split down the middle, the silicone is a single thin sheet that wraps around the helmet like a glove. I go a step further and wrap the silicone around the edges so that the clean up line is on the inside of the helmet.
 
While I'm fine tuning the visor buck I've also been laying in the magnets for the first display piece.

The magnets are strong enough to stand by itself and I can even hold the entire weight by the face mask without it slipping loose. Very happy with how that came out.

Wow yea I got to see this bucket in person at Spooky Empire this past weekend, it looks AMAZING!

Seriously want one, need it, give me a price, I want!
 
It is definitely coming to the Junkyard and the molds are ready. The only thing holding it up is working out the final kinks with the visors. It's very tricky with those deep undercuts to get around the raised areas and I need to make sure that the quality will remain consistent.

One of the Huge things I think many of Us appreciate about you Oz being a Professional and knowing the detail you do. If possible and your okay with it being shown..maybe we could get a picture of what you mean? When you say visors do you mean as in the coating is sandwiched in between 2 layers?
