The box is made for the mould. This is a one piece mould
I put on one layer of RTV rubber taking care to try and make sure there are no bubbles on the surface of the master

Another view. Unfortunately the area between the head and body is a small undercut so I am not sure if I did eliminate the bubbles that can be trapped there
Some professional mould makers put their mould into a vacuum chamber. What this does is it basically sucks out all the air in the container and reduces or eliminates the bubbles in the mould. I do not have a vacuum chamber but what I do have is one of those vacuum bag sealers. It also came with some jars. So I put the mould in one of those jars and hooked it up to the bag sealer. I left it on for a bit to reduce the pressure inside the bottle as much as possible. Some fairly big bubbles came out so hopefully it has done it's job

Last year for Joss' birthday the Browncoats had screening through out the world and raised money for charity. We had a screening in Toronto and raised about $1000 for the charity Equity Now.
We hope to do it again this year and are looking into theatres now. I believe the date is June 23. To help raise funds we will have donated items for auction or for sale. I am donating a glass etching of Morena that I had her sign when she was at a local convention last year. I also hope to have a finished copy of my model to donate.
