Ok , just waiting on the molds to dry. They should be good to cast by later tonight or first thing in the morning. I molded all 4 parts the controls the swivel that connects the control handles to the main shaft, the shaft and the dish looking piece on the front of the globe ( you called it the firing mechanism) Also Clint, I found a good way to make sure you minimize on the air-bubbles dooring the casting processes... When I made the missiles for Tamer's ATAT the mold was so narrow inside that the resin would set up before it reached the bottom of the mold so I used one of my kids medicine syringes being it had a some what long nozzle. After mixing the resin I sucked it up in the syringe like I would the medicine and put the nozzle at the bottom of the mold and filled it from the bottom up. It worked perfect, up until that point I had six failed attempts with the missiles. Even for the helmets it cut down to only having to cast them once even the difficult ones. I know your thinking about the syringe "Clean-up" Right before it hardens inside the nozzle I take a piece of wire and push it back out. Then taking a pair of narrow scissors or a small flat screw-driver and the resin pops clear off!
