So the red and purple ones are the newer slimmer profile. The brown is the original. We've been tossing around the name in the Seattle r/mk meetup slack of Regina.

I actually broke the master when I pulled it out of the mold, so I've been using the red one as the 'new master' and refining that one.

Finally have enough torpe bonks to make new molds. I'll be pouring my first topre mold tonight.

Hehe, the pink whale is amazing :cool:

The newer mold looks much nicer, imo. Keep it up man!

First Bonks from the new topre molds. Went for red pupils, black eyes & red body. Didn't turn out quite like I was hoping. Tonight I'll do white pupils, black eyes and red body... aka DEADPOOL

Not bad for just trimming the sprus out of the mold

Halfpool & Regina

I swear I didn't murder an animal to make this batch..

And my new favorite method of measuring out oomoo

That Deadpool colorway is gonna look sick with the white pupils. What process do you use for multishotting the small details like the eyebrows and teeth?

Yup, the original sclupt broke off the cap on my first mold so I had to use a cast as the master.

And thanks! She's almost there.

JT_Sea · « **Reply #329 on:** Thu, 28 July 2016, 10:10:22 »

I had some fun with multi shots last night. Finally starting to get it a little smoother.

You can tell the difference between the two versions of Regina here, slightly smaller head and the tail are the main features to pick out.

romevi · « **Reply #330 on:** Thu, 28 July 2016, 10:12:53 »

Is it "Reh-jee-nah" or "Reh-jye-nah"?

JT_Sea · « **Reply #331 on:** Thu, 28 July 2016, 10:28:33 »

I call it "Reh-jee-nah" - but its up to you how you pronounce it yourself. Quake calls them Gina for short.

Ummmm, next week? I've got all the topre bonks done that I feel like making and I just need to finish them now.

As far as alps, I think I'll just setup a form and ask people to fill it out and make them that way.

Jude is already a fan of Topre

Had a mold making party last night

Regina + dsa & oem blanks.
SA numrow & 2 BS caps
Reinforced HHKB mods

I think I'll do a small sale before the bigger MX sale. Double shot Regina + matching blank, say $33 bucks + s/h.

If you really want a matching Bonk + Regina + blank I'm sure we could work something out.

JT_Sea · « **Reply #347 on:** Tue, 09 August 2016, 09:59:52 »

Had some good casts last night, and some just okay ones as well.

FINALLY have my first casts of thick mods.

And of course, Regina + matching blank. Did you want that is DSA or OEM?

romevi · « **Reply #348 on:** Tue, 09 August 2016, 10:09:54 »

The green mod as some color bleeding in. Is that on purpose?

JT_Sea · « **Reply #349 on:** Tue, 09 August 2016, 10:20:42 »

Oh the enter key? Yeah no, that was like the 1st or 2nd cast on standard mods. This is why I won't ever sell them. Good enough for me on my DailyDriver, but no way they are going out 'in the wild'...
