So far people really like that grossly deformed Rykrof.  Maybe I'll try to use it as my entry to the Monthly Challenge

Technically March (month 11) hasn't started but I've made a cast of head that I created out of sculpy.  We'll see if this one goes anywhere or not...

Fritz - Ouch!  So far I've been mostly healthy from customizing injuries.  However, every time I grab the dremel I think I'm about to loose my fingers.

Rest up those figures and get well soon.

Phruby, I put my entries in a while ago... Do we need to bring them back up to the top of this thread or will you dig them all out?

Well, I've made some progress with my "newbie" casting attempts.  I've had some mixed sucess/failure.  I've been snapping pictures of my in progress but I'm too tired to get the uploaded, cropped, etc etc.  Maybe tomorrow I'll show off what I've got.

Updated on Sunday afternoon.....

Here are some photos of pieces that I've cast.

Captain Typho heads.  These are pretty much usuable "as is"


Alien head for upcoming challenge, he needs some basic clean-up and I need to cut away his sprew hole.


Beehive Clone Helmet - needs a little clean up.  I may sand it down and make a new mold using this.  I did the best I could making that helmet from sculpy.


and finally, some really really bad Rykrof heads    Obviously these need some work.

Your Jedi General looks great.  I've been thinking of making a Jedi using the Ask Aak head - now I can see what he looks like.  I think the Bandolier is a simple but very effective touch.

For the clone belt, I slice it off on the back with an X-acto knife.  There are very thin parts that connect the cannister part on the back of the belt.  You can cut it there and and easily glue it back with some superglue.  Thats what I did for this one:


As far as the neck post.  Try heating it up in boiling water, that softens the plastic up.  I use a box knife to cut the neck post on the #41s

I really like the way the script writing came out on thse figures.  It is a very unique touch.
