That issue is being taken care of, so hopefully will be resolved soon.
Anyway...
A helluva lot closer than mine. Minus the barrel, the BR schematic I drafted a while back only measures in at 24"
lol

Last mold being poured. I had originally made this last week but I didn't use enough mold release and the halves stuck together. $100 mistake. Oops.
My old trusty Gateway DC-M42 camera finally died so I had to go camera shopping as well. Got a Fujifilm S1500. Not great but not bad for the price.

Looking really good there! Hope this mold comes apart! It looks like you have a small pour spout or is it a vent?
Can't wait for this Rube, your molds are looking as awesome as Lee's rifle.

EDIT: Whoops, for some reason I missed the "and Indiana" bit. My bad.

I was wondering this as well. I know you do vacuum degassing, but wouldn't there be some air bubbles trapped in the cavities of some recessed areas if you did a suspended under-pour? Sorry I bug you so much about the moldmaking stuff Rube, but you definitely know your stuff!

I paint a thin layer of rubber on the bottom side. When that cures, I fill in areas that would trap air bubbles with thickened rubber. However, I think it is easier to do what most people do and embed the model in a clay bed. I'll probably do it that way in the future. I was just experimenting.
And that chunk of clay is a pour spout.
Indiana FTW!
