Last night the second coat of paint was applied to walls.

Using Blu Stuff I made molds of 2 weapons to be used as wall hangings, the swords will be used in the rack. Making up the mixture, poured it into the molds and waited for them to start to cure.

Took them out of the mold, cut off the excess and Snake Eyes seems very pleased with the results. Just need to make 4 more now!

Last night was all about casting katana's and tiger claw swords. I now have 4 of each, which I'll paint up and fix the katana's into the sword rack and the tiger swords to a piece of wood each, which will then be mounted to the back wall, either side of the Shinto shrine.

You can see that Slice and Dice both approve of the tiger claws swords!

Thanks Tamer, my next step is to create a full mold and do a complete cast.

Just need to paint these and mount the Tiger Claws and then this will be completed.

Last nights was all about painting the weapons and racks. A coat of silver has been applied to all the swords and a coat of gloss black to the racks.
While that is drying I've started another project!

While the swords are drying, time to start the next piece.

Back in 1984 & 1986 Hasbro released a little battle station play-sets for Action Force/GI Joes one was called Missile Defence Unit and another called Outpost Defender.

It's a nice little set which would work well in a diorama, which leads nicely to my next project!  I had looked at purchasing this set but found sellers were asking a ransom price for it, so what am I to do but to make my own!

To start off this project I built a wall similar to the Missile Defence Unit, the idea was to combine the two play-sets together.  With one wall built, I moved onto the Outpost, looking at pictures of the original toy I saw that the sides are made from "wood".  This gave me inspiration to use bolsa wood, cutting out the 2 lengths 2.5" x 4.5"to build the sides, a 1" x 1" square to join the sides together, it is now starting to take shape!

Having a little spare time I have managed to fix the Tiger Claw swords to their backing boards and mounted them on the back wall. I have painted the sword handles and applied another coat of black gloss to the sword rack.
Hopefully by the time I get home from work this evening I will be able to fix the swords to rack, take final photos over the weekend and call this project finished.
