Evening All,

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Hit 335 hours of work so far on this bad boy, really beginning to need details.

Ive decided that as this is only a water pistol Prometheus and not 100% cannon that i will be using artistic licence with some areas of the ships details and it's lighting effects.

You have been warned

Enough chit chat

Slush casting first attempt,

took the mold and sandwiched it between two boards with all thread on opposite outside corners.

Spin by hand being mind full to coat all the right areas

Keep it going

At least five minutes if you wait until the plastic/cup starts to warm up in your hand whilst you stir it, its all about timing.

Warning another action shot

Leave for ten mins and then pop them out. It's a good upper body workout i tell ya. Hollow domes, need a bit of filling here and there but its a good base to start from.
