@Ambasah well not sure about that. Still dont want to get in any law suite situations neither do missing license etc... but shhhh now

@slipmagee Thanks a lot... and about the Fisto.. still enough available.. havent been able to advertise him (ebay etc) yet...

@lightsword you are welcome

@Furry/Snoopy .. thanks for updating the list




anyway.. so here are the first steps of the molding...

I decided to go for a vertical instead of horizontal 2 part mold. I didnt wanted to run into problems with having the seaming line at the fine details like the checkered parts...

Its pretty important to make it 100% sealed and also get a clean seaming line.. the other plastic rod is for the air to escape later when it gets casted...
On top the extra wax part will be the pour in funnel

Box around and ready for the silicon to get poured in.. I ordered it yesterday and I hope to get it before the weekend..

Registration points are marks for the second silicon part to fit nice and also to avoid any resin leaks later

That's an interesting process to see, myc, thanks for sharing!

You're a mad scientist!!!

 

[myc]

naaa... just mad

I heard people saying they are interested in inside looks of the process so I dont mind showing all the steps to the final product

 

[Kenbenobi]

Great stuff, myc, thanks for explaining the process and posting the pics, and of course a HUGE thanks for your efforts in making this a reality. And thanks to furystorm for arranging this!

All I did was put the worm on the hook, and drop the line in the water.

Thanks for sharing the step by step process myc. I find it very interesting to see the steps that will make this hilt a reality. Much appreciated.

 

[Slipmagee]

I find this whole process fascinating. Thanks for showing us the step by step. Very Cool!!

MYC: I love seeing the process... I like to learn... I never knew about any of it. thank you for sharing and I look forward to other WIP pics... its so interesting!

 

[LightSword]

This is indeed fascinating. Not only you are building a well thought out hilt but also educating many of us in the process of bringing it to life. It sure is very interesting to me to follow this process. Lots of small details and attention are required. I like it.

Sweet!

wow.. I got the Silicone last night already.. so I didnt wasted any time and poured the first part.. it will be dry until tonight and then I have to turn that thing around.. get all the clay out... brush some vaseline on it to keep the second pour from sticking (dried silocone will stick with fresh silicone ) and do the second part.
Looking good for getting the first test castings out on the weekend !

 

[Black Label Society]

damn, i am so impressed with the urgency in which youre hammering this out. amazing. thank you!!!

 

[furystorm]

This is my second favorite thread on the whole forum now...

Right after Flosi's Cantina.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I went to Flosi's Cantina and was told they didn't serve my kind.

My discrimination lawsuit is pending.

Thanks for sharing the info on the process. It's always amazing to me what some of us crazies will do to satisfy our habit. So great there are people like you willing to take this on, can't wait to see how the tests turn out.

 

[myc]

you guys are more then welcome... besides.. its my own urgency as well that needs to be satisfied !

and Slynger.. everybody who pours out thousands of dollars for statues has to be a bit crazy... (I am one of them as well... )
