I'm never really sure what I am looking at. Did you put a Stormtrooper head on a MUSCLE? Is that from a 2-piece mold?
Yep Stormtrooper helmet on a Goriki MUSCLE. All are from one pices molds at the moment, including the Bad Eggz Bunch.

A really enjoyable weekend of molding and casting practice has come to and end. Running low on my first batch of resin, so now I need to decide if I want to purchase more. Casting the Sunshine arch mashup has enabled me to build my confidence in terms of removing air bubbles.

Total flashback to that old LucasArts video game Night Shift, where you had to assemble toy dolls. Inevitably the production line would screw up, and everything would come out with Stormtrooper heads.

Major ones went once I'd used air vents properly. Other smaller ones through tapping and vibrating. Some still slip through the net at times though, no matter what I do. All part of of the fun though

Here's a pic of the figures I've had for sale via Instgram. All of the Muscle Troopers have now sold, most of the BEBs are gone, as well as one painted Goddess Coatlicue, but there are still a good chunk of Muscle Arches left (£3.50 each) and two more painted Goddess Coatlicues (£5.00 each) PM me if interested.

Thanks pal. There's still a few Arch Troopers left. Can't believe how quickly the Muscle Troopers sold.

Glad I could help with the products - I've been very happy with them so far. In fact, I need se more Blu-stuff. Great first pull by the way
