Hey everyone

I want to apologize for not responding, Ive been pretty busy, and almost totally forgot about these. The ABS supplier basically fell through, which actually really upset me.

However, I am considering to cast these in fiberglass once I get a mold made. The sculpts still need a little fixing up, and since I am considering fiberglass now, all casts will be from a single mold, and make a set consistant with each other. Price may change, but it may stay the same. I will try to get this started when I can. Thanks

Ok, well Ive decided to go ahead and cast these in fiberglass. I just ordered some silicone molding materials, and will mold it once I finish prepping the sculpt.

Once thats done, I'll make a first cast. To be quite honest, this will be my first molding experience, as well as FG casting. I will practice first of course! Updates to come

Yikes! Ive been trying to get onto the forum for a few days, just wouldnt load up!

Anyways, I got the silicone rubber, Im practicing with a smaller object right now for me to practice with. Thats currently setting. However, due to the cost of materials, I am sincerely thinking of re-sculpting the hand plates. Upon closer inspection of my original sculpt, its not looking mold worthy, and I feel I can do a much better job then what it is right now. I'll keep you guys updated

To Tk2230, yes, should I follow through with this, I will be willing to ship to canada.

Just an update, the silicone mold turned out perfect. I have a better idea of how to go about this. Like I said before, im really thinking about re-doing the sculpt. The exisistiing one will be really difficult for me to fix up while keeping it as clean as possible. I'll keep everyone updated.

My first silicone mold!
