That would be fantastic. I plan on upgrading the website for it sometime once I have the cold-cast versions handy to re-photograph and include pictures of buyers in their costumes.

And I figured it's better to drivel about it than let you all be nervous that I vanished into the woodwork. XD

Yesterday was my father's 60th birthday so I was a little less productive this weekend than I had hoped to be, but I still got the hardest mold left out of the way. Just a matter of finishing these last parts up, clean up and assembly!

Finally, a sneak peak for you guys! The white metal you see is the bit I'm still working on atm, the rest is the cast product. This is the first dry-assemble since casting the new tooling pattern for the core, shot under halogen light. Can't wait to get to the hardware part of assembly. Still gotta finish the rest and cleanup! This gives you guys a peak at one of the molds and some of the cold-cast parts.

Oh snap. I ordered all the hardware parts (eeeesh it was a hefty bill, but at least I can make more than just your orders with what I got) last night and somehow THEY ARRIVED THIS MORNING. Jeeze it's a srs bsns website I got turned onto for these things. At any rate, recast some of the parts I was unhappy with and beginning cleanup and assembly over the weekend. Still tons to do, but hopefully more pictures soon as well as aiming to ship at the end of next week if all goes as planned! Will keep you guys informed.

Haven't really been posting much here or there, but I have to say I'm still mega-excited. Everything is looking pretty spot on.

Starting final assembly this week! Should be able to ship very soon.

RPF is really great! I can't wait until I can post in the junkyard, I hope I get a few more buyers. XD

Also you guys might think is cool- my grappling gun got me a professional prop-making gig job offer. So excited to see where this all takes me!

UNFORTUNATELY it's just little ol' sweatshop me. :C

Seriously I think I'm probably getting those rates for how low I'm charging and how many hours it takes. XD

Don't suppose anyone went to San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday during the day and saw my Rorschach costume, huh? I was actually looking for pictures if anyone here just so happened to see me and catch a couple pics.

I walked around the exhibit hall for a bit then chilled out in front of Hall F until about 5:00. Had the "smiley" mask on.

Found one of me someone took!

Looks awesome, man!!! We gotta' get your Gun fixed up asap and it will be perfect. >:|

Been experimenting with new plastic and I think that's entirely the cause of the previous issues. Also it hurts my hands while working with it more than the softer stuff, pretty sure there's blood in some of the mix. Sooo can't wait to set one up with the new parts. UPGRADES UPGRADES.

Sold four more over at RPF and other places! I'm still taking orders for the second run if anyone wants to be included! Might be tossing one or two up on Ebay after this second run's completion too.

Also I'm going to need to start thinking about making new masks for this Halloween so I can swap 'em out randomly all night.

What hand made method do you guys find has the best night time visibility?

Interesting fact: I also used a garbage can lid for one of my curves, and piano wire ((good for stranglin' otherwise)) is also used in a few places. SO MANY LEVELS OF LOVE AND RAWSHARK.

Also of course after I made that post I slashed my palm demolding a part just now. XD It's not the parts themselves, it's the thin cakes of over-spill that are dangerous! Good thing the rest of the day is quiet cleanup.

I half suspect that the reason the movie mask differs from the comic's in the way it does was a result of investigation into how its properties might actually be possible (a la the video).
