Very excited to see how a cast version turns out!!

hmm, not sure what area you might be talking about, but no, the only removable magnetic pieces will be on the tower walls, covering up the 2 entrances to the rooms you see.
glad you like it! thank you.

I was wondering about the area of the base of the tower on the right bottom of the pic... it's probably just an optical illusion, but it looked like maybe that was a hidden removable piece.

thats awesome! thats what its all about. im sure yours will be killer. cant wait to see.

here are a couple of photos because its been a few days. haha

slathering it with mold rubber.

and this is an older one, you can see we had the front stairs off at this point. this is when we were attaching the boards. thats ben, the other ben, this is his internet debut! castle looks huge.

friggin amazing! I'm coating my frame with a papier mache type coating I'll more than likely still use sculpy as well, but the papier mache is cheap and helps me flesh it out and solidify it without heat.

I thought my skull was bigger than yours but now I'm not so sure!

can't wait for more pics it keeps me motivated!!

**custom** · May 3, 2011, 11:54pm

This thing is a killer piece !

I have an Eternia playset and now to me look`s like a dirty old house next to this thing.

Amazing stuff Ben and your friend are doing !

**Death138** · May 4, 2011, 01:03am

Still so Epic. I cannot wait.

**Neo** · May 4, 2011, 09:37am

That is freaking amazing!!

**Eamon** · May 4, 2011, 09:53am

So eager to see how it casts for you!

yeah its going to be pretty insane. we bought an 800.00 ez spray jr ( dont know why they call it JR, its huge.) spray gun.

so we will be able to shoot plastic into the mold, will cut the curing time down to less than half of what it would of ben had we been brushing in the plastic.

very excited to use the gun!

Nope! And I know he listens to the podcast so I put a shout out for him.

I'm quite bummed out by that news actually.

i can imagine.
im thinking part of it was he didnt realize what a huge project it was. and it must have become overwhelming.

Hi Bishart! Loving the work so far...

I have one question: It is possible to cast clear plastic with that spray gun you´re gonna use?

thank you!
i dont believe so. smooth-on only really sells one plastic meant for the gun. it would be possible to brush in clear plastic. but it would take a long time.

what were you thinking? you want a clear one?

**Eterniandreams** · May 4, 2011, 01:39pm

I think in the minicomics the castle appeared there where it was needed.
So a half phasing one (like the predator figures) would be pretty awesome.

**beyond the legends** · May 4, 2011, 04:25pm

This seems like the most amazing custom ever attepmted, I couldn't be more excited about this if I tried!

Thanks for the aswer... No just wondering about it. I´m working in a Fright Zone playset and wanted to know if that could be possible because i want to cast it in red clear plastic, but i will do it as you mentioned, with brush.

Can´t wait to see the first cast

**Crusader** · May 4, 2011, 08:34pm

Castle Grayskull looks massive ... I'm totally speechless by this one

**Death138** · May 5, 2011, 12:32am

Waiting for this is like waiting for christmas or waiting for SD Comic con. I sadly will not be attending this year. But SDCC 2012 should be awesome.
