No thread for Leia, though I might post on someones else's thread once I actually do something major with her. As to Bossk's rather lengthy development...quality takes time(especially when it's coming out of MY pocket)...PS
 
Mini-update.The feet are now set up for molding, and I've decided to take a lesson from my better half and stop tweaking the leg;if not, I could tweak it right down to the base tube. I'll have the leg and pin set up by the weekend, than it's time to order rubber(seems I have to order the stuff every time I turn around)...PS
 
Very Nicely done.Those feet look great.I'm glad things have eased up to free the time for you to work more on this project.
 
More work on Bossk. All the foot pieces are set up for casting now; just have to get rubber. I have managed to actually finish 1 piece;his gun is painted and strapped(used the GG strap). I was going to start the cuffs as well,but I don't have tubes that are the right size. Off to the hobby shop! I also got a bit done on Leia;see the appropriate thread...PS
 
A few pix...

The feet, set up for molding; also visible is the ankle rotator pin...

The gun, finished.While I wait on the rubber, I'll probably address the cuffs, which I'll make with styrene tubing(wonderful stuff)...PS
 
Mini update.Waiting on rubber, have applied a bit of paint on the mouth and started the eyes. Don't want to get to ambitious with the paint until I have all the parts;matching pigments can be a _____, so I want to get it all in one shot(though the original GG piece has noticeable variations in color between the arms and head,and from piece to piece).Also tried out the whole costume, to see where work is needed;there is a bit...PS
 
Eyes and mouth are now painted,looking cool.Going to order rubber this week, so the molding can commence. Hope you guys were serious about castings, this is getting expensive!...PS
 
Okay, more pix...

Not much, I know, but it's something.At least the rubber is ordered...PS
 
I never even thought of the Joker angle;I just se a WIP.I'm holding off on the base coat until I have the feet cast. That way I don't have to try matching colors, though,if truth be told, GG didn't appear to worry about it over-much with the original piece. The skin tones on the 2 I have are substantially different from each other,and noticeably different from one limb to the other on my "sacrifice" piece...PS
 
Mini-update!Casting rubber arrived yesterday!2 out of 3 first halves poured!Will mix and pour more today!Pix to follow!Why am I ending all sentences with exclamation points?!Don't know;must be brain-fried...PS
 
I totally understand the exclapoints, your mold masters looked great, can't wait to see the first parts pulled!
What casting rubber did you go with?
