Very nice update.  Now we see why you needed all those Bail Organa bodies.... That is new set of clone elites.  Now you just need to make their dates.

I give you credit, your military themed figures always look battle hardened!!

Looks great.  I was a little freaked out when I read that you used an Anakin Head and a Luke Face.  Its like that movie Face-Off!  Having said that, you really pulled it off with this figure.  Love seeing Luke use the Sith Lightning.

Thanks Phruby... as far as the casting goes.  I've found that mixing the A + B on the silicone is very forgiving.  I haven't had a mold fail to cure yet.  However, for mixing the resin, I'm using CR-300 (from Micromark) and I've found that I have more success if I have a very slight excess of the "Yellow" part (I think its Part B but I'd have to check).   Now these are the problems I've had (with some of my solutions):

1 - poor filling of the mold by the resin - thats what generates the incomplete beards in the Rykrofs.  Glassman taught me a trick - try squeezing the mold together and sucking in the resin as you add it.  That definitely helps.  Also I've used a toothpick to try and push out any air bubbles that gather in these "underfill" areas.

2 - bubbles in the resin - this leads to bubbles of resin on the cast.  If you look up at the Rykrof heads, you'll see that the eyese have perfect little spheres sticking out - I'm pretty sure that these are a result of bubbles in the mold.  My solution to this was to very carefully pour the first layers on and try to make sure that there are no visible bubbles in the silicon around the problem areas.

Another tip that helps both #1 and #2 - when you mix Part A and B together - try to mix slowly but evenly.  You want to create as few air bubbles as possible as they just cause problems!!!

3 - Molds breaking - the silicon is quite durable, however as you spoon it on, it really runs and this creates very very thin layers.  If the layers are too thin then they will rip as you are demolding either your original or one of your casts.  However, it your mold is too thick, its hard to manipulated and demold.  I think there is a happy medium in mold thickness when I haven't quite yet mastered.  Thats why I echoed Glassman's thoughts - practice, practice, practice.

Anyway, hope those tips help.

Thanks again for the comments - I'm glad everyone seems like the droids.

Sheesh Chewie, its been two days without an update....  I thought your computer was fixed.

You know the CW Kit Fisto is a perfect match for Commander Fin with the whole under-water thing going on.  Very nice!

You know, I think I like this color scheme.  I would suggest a little battle-damaged weathering but I like it.  Also you may want to paint "inside" the leg joints a little.  Depending on the angle of your camera, the white comes through some.

Looking forward to seeing this one finished!

practice with it tonight!!! 

It will probably take a few trys to get used to it.
Work time, cure time durability....

Good Luck!

I'll echo this completely.  I've scraped more molds that I've salvaged and I'd practiced a little with Latex before getting my hands on the silicon.  I still need lots more work!
