Happy New Year! WOW, 2007 is here. It will take me some time to remember to write 2007 instead of 2006. Some updates on projects I've been working on:

New clamps for the holding frame on the vacuum form machine are now done. I've been having some issues with these for several months. I've reworked them 3 times now. The new clamps I hope will serve me a long time. I'll post some pictures in a few days on the Vac-forming page.

A new trooper chest molds is being sculpted from the remains of the old mold. I was never really 100% happy with the old mold, and now I have a chance to rework it to be more accurate. We also plan to use some pyrotechnics to blow holes in the chest, so this piece of armor needs to look good on screen. I hope to have the molds done in a few weeks.

Sandtrooper back pack box molds are almost done. I need to add a lip and risers to the molds and they will be ready for test pulls. Made of MDF and basswood, these should work great. I'm sending a test pull out to Tony K. for inspection, and will make some changes, but I hope to have these ready for the fan film in a month or so.

On the RFT helmet front, a new and improved chincup is now ready. As soon as I can replicate the master mold, I can make a small run of these for anyone wanting to upgrade their chincups. Also, a new comm box is in the works. I hope to have this mold finished in a few days. This leaves the swoop mold as the only remaining mold to get a rework for 2007.

Something that needs to be done.

The L2A3 Sterling molds are on their last leg, and I plan to phase these molds out soon. If anyone needs these resin bits for use on their own E-11 build, you better hurry. I'm wanting to concentrate on the Lewis Gun project for 2007.

I got a new portable studio for Christmas, and I'll be using it to take better photographs of some of my projects.

New Legend, the fan film based on Richard Matheson's book, I am Legend, is in pre-production, and Clint Hanna is working on an animatic cut from the storyboards his is drawing. Also, Clint Fultner has worked on a blank firing pistol that gives an impressive muzzle flash.
