I actually knew that you were supposed to do it in thin layers but it's tough to eyeball on the first try. I also think it's one of those things were you have to do it wrong a few times to get exactly how much resin is too much resin.
I've been cleaning up the good head casting. Putty, primer repeat. A lot of work before making the final mold for this piece. The main thing will be cutting the front half of the head so that I can instal the neck and eye mechanisms. In the final model I'm going the have the face plate attach with magnets so I can have access to the head electronics. I'm hoping to have one LED for each of the three eyes, and fourth for a little red triangle on the left side of the face. I also need to cut in a slot into the back of the head that is in the reference.
It's so nice not to be working with that previous head where the skin was paper thin. Nice sturdy resin now!
I've also spent part of today making waist parts and toe pieces!
Feels good to spend a couple good days on an old project!
