Awesome. Are you making it clear and how will you make it glow?

Yip, it will be transparent emerald green. I will be making it glow simply by installing those flameless LED flickering tea lights. Have a good feeling about this one!!! :)

Cool. So it will be molded and cast? Have you considered green glow powder?
 
Yes, that's the plan. The pics I have already posted is just the master that I shall be going to mould in silicone rubber, then cast in green resin. Not going to use any glow powder, just going to stick with the flickering tea lamps. :)

Same lighting concept I'm using in another build I'm working on currently (Sankara stones). It works well and those batteries last longer than I thought they would! Can't wait to see how this pans out and if you do a run I'd definitely be interested!

Cool, will look forward to seeing how your sankara stones turns out. Yea, might easy do a few for the die hard Superman fan :) Will have to see how the sculpt, mould and first pour comes out. I'm relativley new to this casting game, haha.

I'm sure others can chime in but here's my 2/100's of a dollar.. casting in clear resin is difficult without a pressure pot. It's not that pouring or mixing the resin is much different, but the problem with clear resin is that you can see bubbles. With the use of a pressure pot, you should be able to eliminate most or all of the bubbles from your cast creating a clean, and beautiful piece.. it's not impossible to get a good cast without a pressure pot, but if you are looking at doing quite a bit of casting with this resin you should definitely look into the investment ;)

Thank you, really do appreciate any advice. Before setting out on this venture I did indeed invest in a pressure pot. :) So that'll be ready to rock 'N' roll once I'm happy with this sculpt. :)
