Makin' copies


My new 2T "Otis the Moonshiner" model is ready to be shipped to the mold maker. He'll make a silicone mold from my model and then produce polyurethane castings from the mold. The head and jaw will be cast separately. When I receive the castings, I'll cut out the jaw opening in the head and drill out the eye sockets. The edges will be smoothed with a Dremel tool and the fun begins. A few weeks later I'll have my first 'new & improved' Otis figure. And he already has a new home waiting for him.
