3 months later and it's time for an update.
The bumper master has been clayed up:
One side cast:
Other side cast:
And first pull from the mold:
Next it was time to build the slime blower attachment. I started by working out the lengths of the three main section, the rear, middle and cone.
The problem with the rear section is it actually has the part of the front grip clamp embedded into it. I wound up cutting slots into the acrylic and boxing them out with styrene. Add a pair of mounting points and the section was ready for molding:
For the cone I started by filling a funnel with resin:
I drilled the holes with a step drill:
Then back filled them with putty to level them out:
I also scratched the slime hose attachment parts for the rear of the thrower and the detail parts for the side of the tube:
The more parts I add to this thing the more ridiculous it gets:
Everything's in silicone now, hopefully we'll have finished casts soon and Matt can attach it to his final build.
