Nice work. Those seeking the 2011 look will be very happy with that.

Clear soles are on on going as the molds are done. I am in the process of reviewing a few things, but over all, am happy with what I have done.
Do you want the yellow plutonium box or the black tube bag?

Jeez, this looks fantastic. Can you give me a step by step of how to did the ankle bubble? I've sanded it a little bit with 2000 grit but it's still cloudy. Do you need to add the clear coat to make it clear or keep sanding?

Cool thanks a ton. Couldn't remember the page number on that. I remembered seeing it somewhere. Just to be clear, after you sand it, is it still supposed to be foggy until you put the clear coat on there?

Really amazing work there, Wizard. The quality (amazingly bubble-free) and color of your castings looks every bit as good as the official shoes. Makes me angry that the Chinese continue to use their yellowish ****** on all their stuff, no matter how high the price point. Do you think you'll ever offer these castings in other sizes? If there are indeed only 3 sizes, like the EL replacements, it makes it seem more feasible than if all of sizes 6-13 were different.

As soon as this Vacuum form is done, I will be starting a run. I won't be making that electric film part of it anyway.

Can't wait to see how it comes out man
Welcome to the forum. Feel free to run a search - you'll be surprised to see how many threads are out there based on your interests. As you can see from cavx's Nike Footwear bag thread, he's been perfecting it for some time now. Check it out here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=144960
And now back to the V3s, has anyone who's got outstanding orders been given updates from when their shoes will ship? Have there been any delays in the website switch over? Delays in QC pics, etc?

Me too. This new vacuum form is costing me money and it needs to work so it make parts and pay for itself.

Right now I am thinking it would take 4 sets of molds for the clear soles, very feasible. Really hoping each mold will fit at least 4 sizes too. All the pairs I have now are 10.5.. Might throw a pair of my modded mags on eBay or in the junkyard (when I have reached 90days on the forum, which I think is one of the requirements) to recoup a little money. I have spent a lot more then I wanted on these shoes and molds lol.

I made 3 different sizes for the V2s and they cover (Small) US8 and US8.5, (Medium) US9.5 and US10, (Large) US11 and US12. US13 technically needed a slightly bigger base plate. Wing was the same as was the front ovals.
So I would suggest 4 sets of molds will be needed.
Clean work WizardBTTF . It's nice to see such clean work.
