Interest Death Star Tile

[thd9791]

Hi folks,

So, I recently got permission to cast and sell copies of this death star tile I own.

Backstory - this did come from someone who worked on the prequels in the shops, and was gifted to him. We don't know beyond that, so I have no provenance and can only say this was probably a cast from an original mold. The original I have is resin lightly dusted in light gray primer. It had hot glue on the back, which I've removed.

It is meant for long-distance shots. It's only about 4 inches on a side, and looks to be hand sculpted to mimic the arc-design of the detailed large tiles.

Anyway, I successfully made a mold and have pulls with zero bubbles that I made (maybe a few micro ones i missed) but it has the exact same rough texture of my original piece. I'll be putting them in my Etsy store anyway, I just wanted to see what the interest was on the RPF.

I have a cast curing at the moment, here is a sneak peak at the mold

I'll upload shots of the casts asap.

I don't plan on selling these for very much. This is not that kind of collectible. as an FYI

I’d likely pick one up to go with my others!

Also, would like opinions on bare resin or dusted with paint, on a whim i found a can of gunmetal TS in my cabinets and that, turns out, is the wrong color lol. I think Zynacote light gray primer was what the shop used for the Tie and X wings

Pics added to the first post. I captured every ugly detail!

This resin I have is like water, there is one area that I usually have to stretch the mold to release a bubble midway through pouring.. not with this

Okay, so I’ll only do a few for now. I’ll list them in my Etsy store and share the link
