What the frak are those? They look like pods. Um well how to describe what I am doing. This is a process to hopefully replace a part of the model that I have not been happy with. I took some putty and I mashed it against the model. I then took it off and poured resin into the quick mould.

Once the resin cured I then pulled the part off. I then planned to use the part as a replacement part after I fix the thing.

Close up. Unfortunately the resin I used is old and bubbles were forming where it met the play doh. Other resin surfaces were fine. Not sure why that is

So I try it 6 times. 3 per side and they all bubbles for some reason

Close up of the part. Not sure if I will use this part or try and cast again with some other mould compound. Can you tell the part I am trying to replace?

I guess I was lazy before but I have remembered how to code so that the pictures will open up to a new window. This should make viewing the diary easier. Hopefully I will remember to do it from now on.

I also got a notice that my Serenity ornaments have been shipped.
