It will accelerate cure time and will also change physical properties of the cured resin as a result of that faster (and hotter) curing. While the overall shore hardness won't change dramatically, what you will get is more brittle bondo. If you're looking to make sanding easier, start by...

Damn that's pretty. What's your length on the piece? Photos like this make me really want to start my build!

Nice work, especially the random pitting on the blade. That's a hard pattern to really get done right. You can mold it now or after you've completed your final paint job, but most 2 part molds will require clay and mold release. Most of my masters are so oiled up after the process they don't...

Not at contests, no. You could argue that it gives you "exposure" but one Kotaku article will reach a larger audience than a dozen conventions.

I have a friend who gives me smaller scraps from time to time, they use mostly very large sheets for concept cars so anything under 10" cube is more or less trash. They drop me a big ol' box and I make my parts out of that. Several suppliers do sell it though, from eBay to people like The...

Thanks! It's kind of an obscure one, but a fun project. Onto the armor plates! The bulk of these are made from layered PVC sheet (sintra) because it's very easy to shape into simple curves and it carves easily. I made a bunch of mockups on several of the parts before going all out. The...

Woof, I need to remember to update more often. So here's how I went about putting the body of the gun together. I need this to be as light as possible, and that'll be tough with a 40" long rocket launcher. The barrel that runs down the center is a myriad of intersecting pipe dimensions. This...

I'll admit, I've never played League of Legends. The design of this thing is so cool looking though, I had to make it. Luckily my desire for a new project coincided with a potential client email, and I'm getting to build one! Fishbones is a shark shaped rocket launcher. It's pretty damn...

Drop me an email and I'll refund you the difference. Just need to know which order # you had.

Yep! The molds aren't going anywhere.

Bump for the weekend crowd - I've got 5 finished kits headed out to their new owners this week and more resin on the way!

Tax is only charged to people who purchase in the state of Georgia.

ACK. Very sorry about that, the issue has been corrected. I had the "Flying" version listed in the coupon twice. NOW it works, I swear!

Odd. I just checked it and it seems to be working fine for me. Edit: This code will only work for the items listed above. If you have other items in your cart when trying to check out it won't be applied.

There has been a change in policy regarding posting in the Junkyard; effective today you need to have a premium membership to post FS threads for unlimited runs, which is sort of a thing I do from time to time. Coincidentally, I got a premium membership today. Huh.
