doc, I'll probably send you a package of stuff to review since I never sent you anything back for the parts you sent me.... 

Now *there* is a heckuva deal!  I'll be looking forward to that!

I get mine at Hobby Lobby - like Clint does - or by mail from misterart.com.  We need to start hunting around and find the cheapest place!

got some new helmets pulled, each of these are setting up with clear resin as we speak...







well... the one part that I didn't think would do well turned out the best, and that was the royal gaurd helmet.  I'm having trouble with bubbles in the white quick set resin... we'll see how they turn out with the clear resin....

great looking casts mate thanks for putting up some pictures ;D

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Ours has two zoom modes, "Up close and personal" and "Hello, you're dead

LOL, I have done that before buddy, with a ball point pen but it tends to wear out after a while and I write it on again. Probably about 3/4 of my molds are marked now and the others I just remember. I was considering fashioning some kind of cardboard box to keep them in where I could write down the parts that a particular mold will cast in the slot where it fits into. Usually, I can find the mold I am looking for without a problem but sometimes, I have to look for a while to find one.

dang...your soul, lol.

Never enter into contract with the devil known as JD, devin, he's not to be triffled with.


LOL

Devin, use your car carrier, or get a case and just label the bottom of the container, thats what I had planned to do before I killed all my molds, lol

You killed all of em, simon? Even in pieces, I would use em as molds back when all my molds were quickset ones. I would just piece em back together like a puzzle, cast, and then dissassemble em the same way.
