Futurama - Brainslug.

Hermes: On to new business. Today's mission is for all of you to go to the brain slug planet.
Dr. Zoidberg: What are we going to do there?
Hermes: Just walk around not wearing a helmet.



I'll be in the junkyard, not wearing a helmet...
 
Thanks for the kind words guys....I've now made a concave base plate to the mould, so I'm going to try slush casting a silicone one (hopefully tomorrow) at the very least it'll take some of the silicone out of the base (where most of the weight is) and I might be able to get a hollow one cast (increasing transluscency).

I'll keep eveyone up to date.......hopefully a run will be ready soon....I want to make sure they're top notch before selling any.....:D
 
Excellent!

I got a hollow rubber one at Wonderfest a couple of years ago - it's super light, but they used pipe cleaner for the antennae (if I recall correctly), which is a little silly. It's at work (heh) so I can take a pic Monday if you want to see what the other maker did.
 
that looks fantastic....

Hermes: [After Bender knocks the slug off Hermes head.] Thank God I'm free of that nightmare!
Bender: Sorry, buddy. Here you go! [Bender replaces the brain slug.]
Hermes: [monotonous] Thank you. It was cold down there on the floor

Ah, cool thanks....I didn't know other's had made them....I'd seen pepakura ones and knitted ones.
 
I love seeing original ideas. Your brain slug is perfect!. This place never ceases to blow me away with the talent. And because I think it's against the rules to discuss sales outside of the JY, can I say, definitely make 2 more!
