If you are still looking for the brick pattern, here is a link to one of the many pages of brick textured sheet from the Plastruct website: https://www.plastruct.com/collections/plain-amp-patterned-sheet?page=13 Their website is awful, but they have page after page of vacuformed textured...

You have really captured the flavor of the original. You should feel very good about what you have made! Yes, it could want more of the really fine filigree, but you are limited by the material's ability to be cut finer. Etched brass like we used on the shooting miniature can get expensive.

I have a Photon Mono X that I have been very happy with. Sounds like you can't miss going with either one.

That looks fantastic!

Sorry for the lack of updates. The patterns are all made, but untested. Adam just got his big vacuformer out of storage, but had to head out of town. Hopefully we will get our first set of parts in the next week or two.

I am working on some body and head shells for the Probe Droid, but it is taking a while. The patterns are made, but untested, and Adam just got his vacuformer out of storage so we haven't had a chance to pull a set of shells yet. Hopefully I'll have an update in the next week or two.

Great stuff Barrie! That's real scratch building! Looking forward to more.

To make the custom castings of their hands, I would recommend using alginate to make the molds. It is totally skin safe and fast. It is a powder that you mix with water. Put it in a bucket, stick your hands in it, and in a short while it solidifies into a tough jello-like material. Wiggle your...

Latex would be pretty simple to do the gloves. Just dip the hand castings in the liquid and then wait for it to dry. It does smell of ammonia while drying. It strikes me that silicone might be trickier. You'd need to use a type that is pretty tough and durable, and the cure time tends to be...

Hey Manny! It was so nice to meet you and see this amazing Bowcaster in person at Adam's cave. You've truly made a work of art.

I agree! In fact I contend that there are 1137 clones of him that have been getting all this done so fast!

Here's a picture of the real one during construction. Those folks are model makers Kim Smith, John Goodson and Giovanni Donavon. Yours could be its twin!

Duuude! You are killing it! You’ve really captured the look and feel of the shooting model.

Yup! You’ve done such a nice job upping the detail in other areas, those were starting to look a little plain.
