Wow, I'm so happy that I have a nice comment from the great builder I always adore!
Thanks for looking, mofferton-san.

here are some pics of the progress.

Continuing to fix the wiring.









Then I started to make some figures.

The last time I made a figure, i did it with sculpting.
But it's no good way to make dozen of them for the old man like me.
I've been thinling and come up with this idea.

I made a cast with mini router and 1/5 inch thick transeparent acrylic plate.





I thought the sculpie might stick on the plates, so I apply a little water on the surface with a brush.



Place the other cast on it..



And press it hard with a plier.





Pulled out.







backside





use the cast to hold the figure and sculping a little detail.



The figure is 1 and 1/5 inch.



I will bake them and add some more detail for each charactor (fat, thin, woman etc) and paint them.

Thanks for looking.

Happy New Year my friends and Thanks for looking.

DAVIDYR1-san, falcondesigns-san and Tom-san,
I will post soon as I baked those figures and paint them.

Your figures... 1 1/5 inches? So, about 30 mm? You know, 30mm is about the most common current gaming figure scale. I bet you could have saved some effort by finding a crew of such figures.

Of course, your method is much cheaper. And more creative.

Lovely work as always.

Thanks for looking Albertese-san,

You are right, I thought if I couldn't make them, I was going to buy those good figures.
I've just wanted to know the possibility of this methods work or not.
Fortunately this time it worked.:D
I think maybe I can use this as a way to replicate some simple parts for my further build.:)

All the best

:lol Ouch for dozen
Thanks for looking, friends.
I should paint them soon and relieve them.

Oh, it's 6 am, I got to get back to my coffin.:cool
