You guys have seen this picture, right? The prop...

 

[Darth Madden]

Yeah, that's the miniature that was used in one shot I believe. I saw it when the Star Wars Magic of Myth tour came through Seattle.

As requested I've reshaped the side detail to better match the movie:







Wasn't as difficult as I first thought

I also managed to get more molds made and all I have left now is the main body and the seating which will be complete over the weekend.



I'm really pleased with the incredible detail the RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) silicone rubber recreates

No problem at all guys, thanks for the input.

Yup, this looks like it will definitely be an upgrade over the old Kenner Landspeeder I had as a kid.

 

[Mandible]

That’s great! Didn’t even notice that before, but looks spot on now. Some great eyes in this community.

We’ve known each other for a few years now Jay, and I keep saying it but you never cease to amaze me with your talents. Super sharp castings buddy and zero shrinkage by the look of the snug fit on the master body.
And props to you guys out there for all your input on this one
This is going to be an awesome piece and man I’m excited about it

I have a need for mold making as well.....

Where did you purchase your material? I am interested in the RTV silicone your using..

Currently using smooth-on products.

Completely agree buddy, everyones input is vital when creating such an iconic and movie accurate build like the Speeder, because if you guys weren't happy then I wouldn't be either.

I'm so appreciative of all of your patients and feedback, you guys are awesome

I get all of my RTV rubber & resin from WDR Plastics which is fairly local to me (UK) Smooth-on have some great products and are more or less the market leader when it comes to casting mediums.

For RTV silicones there are usually a number of catalyst colours available, from experience I've found a blue or purple catalyst works better than clear for some strange reason. Another little tip, is to use a big mixing stick as this also creates less air bubbles and is easier on the wrist.

That’s just amazing! Love your work Jas. One after the other you bring things to life...

sorry, I should've typed DWR Plastics not WDR Plastics https://www.dwrplastics.com/

I work in a specialist medical imaging department at a busy Hospital and a mobile X-Ray unit is called a WDR so my brain went into auto type mode.
