    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    Sheesh that's pretty! I'm not worthy. :oops:

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    Scanning over this comment I saw "chrome finger nail blade" and my mind went to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This item is now officially Din Djarin's TOE KNIFE.

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    More casting progress! As I do more castings, they are coming out cleaner and cleaner. I suspect it's because as more and more resin molecules become embedded in the rubber, the rubber ever so slightly swells at the seam, making for a tighter seal when it's all bound up. I could be wrong, but...

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    Just a minor update. Been casting these up, and they just cast up so nicely. Haven't encountered any bubbles so far, and the seams are nice a tight with only a minimal amount of flash to clean up with a bit of sanding. I plan on casting up a batch of ten (#6 is currently in the mold), and then...

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    Sorry for the long delay between posts! I've actually made quite a lot of progress on the mini knife. Since the last post, I redesigned the blade socket so it's one big tab, got it printed, cleaned up, and molded. And tonight I poured the first set of castings. Not sure how many castings I'm...

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    A bit more progress tonight. I got it scaled, best guess at 105mm based on proximity and comparison to the FP-45 holdout blaster (known length 141mm). It's probably closer to 100mm but I feel it's "in the noise" as it were. I also got the blade attachment method figured out. Just two little...

    The Mandalorian's Mini Knife

    After seeing Din Djarin's kit layed out in the cargo crate in episode 5 of The Book of Boba Fett, I became enamored with his tiny holdout blaster and little mini knife. I know the holdout blaster is an almost-unmodified FP-45 single shot pistol, but I just like tiny weapons. Regardless, this...

    Dune (2021) Pain Box references?

    Do you happen to know the origin of this image? It looks a bit different from the one seen on screen. The opening itself seems to have different proportions and the details across the front don't seem to line up. Not doubting it may be some kind of official image, but just trying to reconcile it...

    Nice Prop references from DUNE

    That's a great image of the pain box, I'm trying to find some images of the sides (and hopefully the back too). Any idea if such photos exist?

    Dune (2021) Pain Box references?

    I've become fascinated with the new rendition of the Reverend Mother's pain box, but I'm having trouble finding some references. The images below are what I've found so far, but I'm having trouble finding good photos of the side that's left of the opening, and I haven't seen anything showing the...

    McQuarrie concept Boba Fett helmet

    I recommend cutting out some eye holes in the surface where the visor will go, a few inches wide each, but leaving some space above the nose and at each side so you can glue in the visor from the outside.

    Zuckuss GRS-1 Snare Rifle

    Fantastic work! This one is definitely on my "eventual to-do" list.

    McQuarrie concept Boba Fett helmet

    Alrighty! So this is a big time necropost, but I never got around to finishing this helmet until today thanks to the pandemic killing my creative energy for all of last year. I was doing some shop cleaning today and saw this helmet sitting on my work bench. I realized it had been about a year...

    Done / Completed Baby Groot in Carbonite Sale!! (Groot plate only)

    It's back! Sort of! I'm running a little flash sale on my Baby Groot in Carbonite. I know a lot of people are looking for projects during quarantine, but don't want to shell out a ton of money for a full kit right now. I thought this ought to serve as a nice DIY option! So I'm selling these...
