Pretty cool. Nice weathering.

Welcome back Josh.

Looks like fun Andy. I better get my pictures to you before you finish your ESB, otherwise I'm going to retire in shame to the Sarlac pit.

Congratulations! What a milestone. Love the site.

That's how we learn. No effort is wasted.

That's pretty cool.

Congrats!

Nathan's suggestion would definitely provide better results but I understand your economic delemma. Looking at your clay sculpt pictures and your vac forms there is a lot of degradation between the two. I'm guessing that the clay sculpts didn't hold up well to the vac form process. I suppose the solution would be to make the masters out of something more durable if you are going to skip the molding of a buck from the master. Even though you will be making new masters out of the plaster casts you should consider casting a buck anyway. The point is to do what ever you can to keep the masters away from the vac forming. Even though sculpting is fun. It's a lot of hard work and you'll never get the same piece twice. Keep up the great work Alex. I'm really enjoying watching your progress.

Hey Alex, what did you use for your plaster mold?

Cool. Can't wait to see it.

Hey Nathan, that's pretty cool. Where did you get the padding big enough to cut the cog?

Looking pretty good! Nice job.

Hey Thayne, You're building a Clone? Ep1 or Ep3?

That's interesting. Where did you find the movie Paul?

Hey Guys. Happy New year!

Welcome!

Classic! I'm rolling on the floor!

HA HA HA

I knew it. I was a Cub Scout and a Webelo.

He is a big guy. He ought to try a Chewy in TK armor. Clamp the armor on and let the hair stick out in-between. Seems like I saw a cartoon like that somewhere.

Looking good so far Alex.

If you want to paint it I would suggest a line brush. It has long bristles at least 1" long. They tend to insulate the bristle tip from hand shake. For straight lines you can hold a ruler at a 45 degree angle and run the metal part of the brush against it's edge.

That's one heck of a chewy costume your bud has. Wow!

You deserve a merit badge.

Hey Thayne, cool pics. Looks like another fun event with real good turnout. My Mom drove by one of your events and saw you guys out on the sidewalk. She called me right away to ask if I knew the Stormtroopers occupying her city. Keep up the great work. -John
