I'll start with a pretty simple item... One I'm always in need of and it's really too expensive to use in a custom...even the Armor Tech Destro helmet can be hard to find.


Shows just a small bit of flash at the fill spout...I just need to trim it better.

Next up is a Modified BAT head...This one is going to be a Specialty Crossover...a Night Viper/BAT.

2nd casting from this mold...had a bit of wonkyness on the visor...but this head was just using up excess resin so not a big deal.

Next is just a sneak peak. I cast the whole lower leg, but didn't fill the mold on one side...not a big deal as the important parts were reproduced.




I finished slapping this one together...I really wanted to see how the face would look painted up and behind the "glass"

I'm pretty happy with the face, but the Bubble and body leave me wanting...I'm sure I'll do more with this head somewhere else.


In case you're curious, this was a Deep Six head loaned to me by a friend. I believe it's a Mexican Bootleg, or Overstock/QC hold back. I just loved the idea of catching Deep Six at the moment of Explosive Decompression.

Last one is an item I'm really excited about, but really disappointed in. The initial idea for this part came up in Conversation with Kevin Watts on the Drive to the 2009 KC Joe Con.

It's designed to be a Back Pack/Modifier for the Snake Armor.


To make "Trouble Armor" aka "Flight Snakes"

It still allows full arm movement


And will work with parts from either Vintage or Modern Snake and Trouble Bubbles



I'm going to have to re-work this part, it's just too hard to pop on and off and too thin in some spots...but having castings of my prototype makes it much easier to work with.

Your thoughts, comments, and critiques are always welcome.

That Snake Armor backpack is a pretty cool Idea! I like the concept a lot. Maybe a way to make it work eaiser would be to make the parts that go around the shoulders be C clips instead of full holes.

I could definitely use a Secto-Viper helmet (I've never seen the helmet in person )
