Another Pipboy Scratch build

I got my first pull out of the silicone mold today. Using Polytek easyflo 120 resin.
The overall shape has came out fine but there are quite a few air bubbles in the fine detail parts. I went over these parts first before the resin started to thicken up.
Any Ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

I'm going with a basic static image with a back light.
I should be ready to paint in the next couple of days. Woop!

I've started to paint my Pip-Boy.
I've been trying to get a chipped enamel effect by using roughly torn masking tape and I've been using some weathering powders to make some rust.

Loving the rust effects. Will be PMing you for "rust advice" when my Ballistic fists are ready for such. :thumbsup

Thanks!
I've only started mucking about with weathering powders. The ones I'm usiing are iron oxide powders, that people use in pottery, mixed with a little matt varnish.
I'll try and get the link for the youtube page I used.
 
Just my two cents, but I wouldn't think any Pipboys would have rust unless they were in an abandoned vault. The rust effect does look really good though!

I'm not going to go to heavy with the rust. More like the suggestion of rust.
The test piece that I did is way more than what I'm going for. I'm still just playing around with the powers. I want to try and get some oil streaks in there as well.
But then I guess it also depends on what story your trying to tell with your prop. I want mine to be quite weathered.

oh man, this is fantastic. Looks near exact to the clock that came with the collectors edition of fallout 3. Will you be selling these at any point?
