Thanks for all the cool posts of your build

Almost have the molds finished.

 

[aniskywalker]

Looks Great Richard! :love

Could you tell me what the material is that the mold is in. Is it some kind of plaster stuff?

:thumbsup

 

[REL]

It's hydrostone reinforced with strips of burlap.

 

[aniskywalker]

Thanks for the info. I will have to try that. :cool

Just a little announcement. I ordered a fiberglass air operated chopper/spray dump gun system, finally lol. So the good news is my new FG castings will be consistent thickness throughout, bubble free and with a perfect mix ratio, which is very nice.

 

[Kuhn Global]

That means TWO things...

QUALITY is retained and possibly even imporved!!!...

and...

Fast PRODUCTION!!!

Just another step in the right direction of being professional my friend!

GREAT ADDITION RICHARD!!! cool:thumbsup

The first body cast. I had to take the pics at an angle so the detail would show up on the clear casting. This was hand laid up as the equipment I ordered isn't supposed to be here till next week.
