Here is my first attempt at casting up a plasma rifle. I've cast up small little parts here and there but this is the first time messing with a mold this big. I'm using TC1630. I need to go back and thicken up the edge lip a little as they are a little too thin. The main section is pretty thick and it's not super light but i like that it feels a bit heavy. Next time i am going to cast it a bit differently to make a better edge. I am probably going to build this up with a flashing light in the barrel and maybe some sound effects. Maybe an aluminum barrel. Not sure yet. I wanted to see if i could get this far first. Whoever cut the mold cut it about as crooked as they could but at least the sides match up. I may try to cast the bottom section in black Onyx resin but that stuff is hard to get a bubble free cast from so i'm not sure i want to even try. Here are some pics, a little dark but the sun was already almost set. Also it looks crooked in the pics but it's not.
