The cast came out great. I am still not in love with the idea. We shall see.

I used a dab of Tamiya Clear Blue to color the resin. I was not sure how that might react with the resin but it seems fine.

I am doing something I don't do well. And that is, I started work on another model. I don't do two models at a time very well.

 

Either do I. Do pass on any observations to make it work.

Bakster

I will paint it and such, but pretty much OOTB. And that suits me fine. I have no interest in lighting it. I just want a nice clean build that I can display.

Uh huh. Seems like I've heard that one before.

Greg

h huh. Seems like I've heard that one before

Lol. Yup. 

The little globe (looks like Saturn to me) looks awesome!!!

Glad you likey! I am still lukewarm about the thing. I need to park it in a stall that speaks to me. Then I will be happy about it. Lol

Hey Greg-- check this link out. For grins I did some searches on Saturn. Look what I found. The color almost matches even. The rings should be longer but hey-- Nemo is looking through an optical telescope of the day.

Oh!

 That's wonderful! A wee bitty Version of Saturn. How likeable. Naw, Just kidding. Just did my VERY First Molded item with clear resin the other day. Spread W.D. 40 on a Parts Box, 61 Ford windshield, and poured Left-Over resin from another project, over the part as an experiment. Popped it off this morning. Hey! It Worked, and it's better than the original as far as being Optically Clear! It's way thinner than the styrene too!

Kool! About the Verne Novel, for sure!

I'd love to see it. The WD40 didn't affect the resin clarity?

The interior and the globe/Saturn look great to me! 

You're doing a smash-up job on her Bakster!!!

And now I want to see Khan open up his cryo-pod and find out he's on Planet of the Apes.... 

Actually Richardo Montleban was the carnival owner in Escape from Planet of the Apes wasn't he???

Lol. That is a good one Gam.

And I think you are right about Montleban. Funny how that comes full circle.

Cordoba...

Don't say smash.  I still want to smash Icarus 1. 

Thanks Gam!

That's pretty neat! So now you just gotta figure out how to mold Saturn's moons (there seem to be a bunch of them) into the debris field/rings.

On a side note, TB says above he just cast his first doohickey the other day, which means you were first, which means you did something in modeling before he did and holy cow that is quite an accomplishment, with all his experience.

Hi Greg, Yeah!

 As I said It looks to be something fun! Now, how he hang it in the sky??

I think I have all that covered. But how do I create interstellar dust clouds. All that dust will be time consuming to create.

It's good to be the King. Hehe.

Gamera

Btw. That is a cool thought to ponder. With Kahns superior genetic intellect he'd be lording over ape planet in no time.

What would that look like? Dr Zaius bowing to Kahn? Wouldn't that be something. And the lawgivers scrolls cut up into TP? Perhaps so. The human museum switched out with ape figures? Probably so.

To be sure-- an interesting turn of events. Taylor would have a new master to contend with.

These are the things we should all think about. Leave it to Gamera to plant that seed. That flying turtle is no dummy. 

And btw--I don't feel like working today. You can probably tell. I am starting my 4 day weekend early!

Well I figure that as soon as Khan wakes up Dr. Zira would chloroform his genetically superior butt and lobotomize him.

Enjoy your vacation Bakster. I gotta work over the holiday. Can't complain too much, the office is air conditioned so I can save a little money at home by not running mine so much.

Bakster

Just remember that the cephalopod is wrapped around the one and not the other

In modern, deconstructionist (read "retcon') H'wood, the Augments were the cause of the Sacred scrolls.

Taylor and Nova go on to father Zephram Cochrane . . .

So, no smashing Icarus, that will just bring on the Apeocylpse

BTW: Hate to bring up bad news but Sammy is depressed again.

Something about you calling him a 'seal' Bakster. He started slapping his chest with a flipper and barking 'SEA LION SEA LION'. Then he went online and found this diagram and started muttering something about his magnificent 'ear flaps'.

Dang it, Capn. Now you tell me! I put the cephalopd in my right ear. 

Ah-- what the hey. It will probably crawl over to the other side anyhow.

I guess that smashing the Icarus could set off a time paradox. Duly noted.
