Second mould removed and a third one is stared but the master breaks so it will need repairs before I can finish the box. I also add a chamber a the bottom for an air bubble to form and hopefully leave me with a clean part

I try the other resin with a longer curing time but the fact that it is more viscous means it is hard to get the air bubbles out. This produces a cast with several air bubbles. I can fix them but a pain in the butt

The next 2 casts. Lots of very thin flash and air bubble at te bottom (top) despite my trying to poke it out..

and so on

Doing a quick search I do not see anyone else making a model of Serenity. The Yahoo group is dead. I understand Stargazer has made a few more available. QMX is supposed to have a 20 inch finished model available for the fall of 2007 but no news there. They initially said they wold take preorders in the spring but I have not seen anything. Thomas has put his on indefinite hold at the request of QMX. A reaveriszed movie version ornament is going to be available.
