i was wondering if anyone has thaught about taking the new chrome faced viper with fixed wrists from the new 5 pack and casting a mold of his lower arms,wrist, hand in resin. if i new how to do this, i would be making them to fix all the crappy wrists of the first released viper. someone should do this and sell them. i know i would buy them. just thaught i would throw the idea out there because i know there are customizers who no how to do this.i have read tutorials on casting but still a bit curious where to get all the products to do it. anyway thaught this was a good topic. hope someone does this eventually.

They already did on Broken arrow toys but it was so popular they ran outta stock.
They might be back at one point. |

Most starter casting kits come with a tutorial of sorts, I'd imagine. Mine did anyway. The wrists should only take a one piece mold though. The knee pads on the paraviper shouldn't be hard to replicate or you could just dye them black.
Of course, only one hand of the new Viper appears to have a straightened wrist. The left hand is still bent to hold his rifle. |

You should ask jin satome.
He had made some head casts two weeks earlier. Him and this other guy.... He was trading them 7 heads all of them cast. Damned good ones too can't remember his name though. |

Go to Youtube and search smoothon. Most of Smooth-On's tutorials are posted there. They show open face and 2 part mold construction.

I really wish someone here on the tank would make an in depth tutorial on how to mold and cast joe parts. I've seen just about every online tutorial and they all SUCK! I've spent a lot of money getting the molding materials only to have them fail miserably. If someone here knows how to successfully duplicate joe parts, do every one asking a huge favor and please post how. Please.
