Lots of progress yesterday on my orders.

The communion bust is painted and the base made. I will glaze the eyes today and then it has to sit for a day before I can ship it.

Both rocket kits of the V-2 are cast. 8 fins, two boat tails and two nose cones. Today I’ll fill the boxes with the parts and ship them tomorrow.

I’ve started the Estes Space Shuttle kit and made a video about it I’ll post later. This kit is from the 80’s and they are not made anymore. The shuttle and booster fly to apogee and the shuttle leaves the booster and glides back down while the booster returns by parachute.

Yesterday was a quiet day. I made ready the Communion bust for painting and poured more Resin Cast V-2 rocket kit parts. 

Hope you all had a great Halloween.

Yesterday I worked on the prosthetics and cast them in silicone Gel 10 with excellent results. I will be posting a video later on showing the process.

I also cast up the parts for the V-2 Resin cast kit. I forgot how nice these parts are and it inspired me to build another V-2 for myself with a different paint scheme and a camera.

Seen here is one of the resin cast fins just hanging on the mount for the boat tail. These fins just get glued on with CA and are surprisingly sturdy. I know this because I have flown my V-2 and on landing the fins stay attached well.

I have another set of parts to cast today and both these kits will ship next week.

Communion bust is cast of very thick rubber and awaiting the dry out period until I paint it on Monday.

I have two V-2 rocket kits made up that were the wrong kits for my customers. They are available now for shipping. If you want a V-2 Rocket kit by Steve Neill just go here and click on the PayPal button.
