Location: minnesota		thought I'd share a few new "dusted" and "dipped" soft plastics. Made master out of Alumilite super plastic with equal volume of microballoons to make it easier to carve and shape. Made mold from RTV, dust mold, pour plastic. Remove from mold, touch up details with alumidust, then dip in clear Alumisol.
Under belly has 5 grams tungsten mixed with Alumisol to provide stability.

Those look sweet! Are the scales molded into the plastic?
