redkraytdragon Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 OK so I'm still making some mods to the chest to get it a bit more accurate along with some help from peeps over on the other two boards. Here's what I came up with after one failed attempt....the second try was good though. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks and fits, very comfy! Let me know what you all think! Here's what I modified it from the original In this picture you can see the awful one on the far right...looks completely wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automaton Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 This is pretty neat to see in process. Can you post up a picture of the GM you are using as a reference for us to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkraytdragon Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks Alex Yes, here you go. I'm using a little from each but they're essentially the same from what I can tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkraytdragon Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Got the corrections made to the buck last night and a master pulled. I'm pretty happy with it. Let me know what you all think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbungle Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 very cool. to get rid of the webbing on the bottom corners. add more material to the bottom of the form and bring it out. that should help with that and give you a clean edge, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fett-bobafett Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I just want to say that I know Will and he IS anal LOL! He saw my start at my Aurra Sing costume and set out to design and make my pistols for me and every other person out there that needed an awesome set of pistols. He has helped me with several other projects and I can attest to his hard work and attention to detail. He is always open to suggestions for improvement as well. He will be making new shins for my husband and I for our KT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkraytdragon Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks Colleen! Your AS pistols are what got me started down this road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkraytdragon Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 OK I re-pulled this in the .090 white cause that's likely what I'll be using for this piece. I noticed that it kept it's form much better than the .060 on the initial pull (pics of that ugliness over on CT.net) so I was much happier with the results. I trimmed it down to where I figured looked about right and I'm pretty happy with it. Obviously I still need to add the loops, but I need to get this part down first before moving forward (not to mention I need to know exactly how big this shoulder bell will be before adding them). More to come, stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkraytdragon Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here's where I'm at right now on this piece. This piece has kind of been a thorn in my side. I originally thought it to be a very simple quick sculpt (I'm beginning to learn there is no such thing, especially given how anal I am ) After doing the math and marking all the proper lines over the curvatures, I cut grooves into the mold (not before pulling another scrap master just in case). These had to be absolutely straight because they would become guides for the Audio Video cable that I was about to use for the raised ribs/loops (yes, I said Audio Video cables...hey we all know how it is, use what you can and what works and what's cheap right? ) I just super glued them on there cause I really only needed it for one pull anyway. Afterwards the final master will be completely plaster. Here's pics: And here's what happens when you get your finger in the super glue...yes that's part of my finger print ...ouch!

redkraytdragon Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Next, I chopped off the bottom edge of the mold to square it and size it properly Here's a preliminary pull. I still need to clean up the tops of the ribs and fade them into the bell...easy stuff and shouldn't take too long That's it for now, stay tuned for more.

redkraytdragon Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Looks like .090 Boltaron (which is basically a kydex equivalent....very tough and durable stuff) was the answer for this particular piece.
