A new container is made from an old RTV rubber container and a DVD that is garbage. I hot glued the DVD on then cut off the excess

The container was used since it fit nicely into the vaccu-seal container. However I didn't need the entire area so I blocked off sections with styrene and backed with play-doh

The RTV is solid enough for the shuttle that I can pour the other side. I first have to remove all the Play-Doh

This takes a bit of time but finally all I have if the other half of the shuttle

In hindsight my parting line is not the best. I will have to think about how I am going to cast this thing as there are several locations that are bubble magnets
