My first completely cast figure is finished. Every part of the figure is cast, including the arms. With this first figure, Cobra Viper, I decided to go with cold weather gear colors.
Note about the figure. I initially was going to give the figures black gloves. But I had to cast the lower arms in white, and I didn't want to deal with painting the gloves and fighting paint wear, so I just went with white gloves. Last edited by Falcone; 08-18-2013 at 05:54 AM.. |

I'm selling them for $10 each, plus a flat rate of $2 per order to ship. $10 is as low as I can go on them considering the amount of work that goes into building just one.
O-rings and screws came from Smalljoes. I bought the metal rivets and tool to set from a site online. There's actually very little painting done here. |

What is the rivet size? Do you by chance have a link for the toolset?
