Thanks Ben!

Would love to share your work with them, perhaps get you a few more fans.

Your new whips look amazing BISHART. I mean the whole dio does, and I know how much work you've put into it, but those whips are stunning!

my mark v's chest light burned out unfortunately.

just the batteries or the actual LED?

If it's the same as MK IV/VI (sorry don't have my V yet) they're called AG9 or SR45 button cells according to the instructions. Not the same as the ones that go in the arms.

gah, unfortunatly havent figured out a good way to print the backdrop yet. i have 3 casts. im working on redoing the mold, and getting all the fences and guard rails done. going to worry about the backdrop last. thanks everyone for the patience!

 

[Indiana Fett]

Thanks for the update Ben! Not sure I'm even going to use the printed backdrop anyways, so might not matter to me personally.

Just found out that my MARK V is at the post ready for pickup! Can't wait to finally see this guy in-hand!

everyones patience is overwhelmingly appreciated. just wanted you all to know that.

don't worry, the monaco base project is still going, problem is its 28 degrees here in maine and the resin will not cure in this weather, so I'm actively searching for a heated studio space to do this casting, as well as the fortress of power casts. ( the fortress fans are not as patient, so thanks goes to you all once again. )

hope everyone had a good holiday. -ben

Thanks for the update Ben! Still really looking forward to this display for my MARK V and Whiplash...I actually still have to find the space for it so no rush for me right now.
