BKBT asked me to post progress pics of his knee project, so here they are as of tonight. The detailing on these pieces is very nice and clean, which makes them all the easier to work with. I'm hoping to pour silicone by mid-week and then I'll begin making the solid resin casts that'll be prep'd for Hyperfirm production.
Sign me up!!!!

Any price for these?
Hyperfirm, Rubber is it?

Thanks for the good question. Right now I'm estimating around $125. I still need to look into making masters for the darts, if I can't find a supplier that would give me permission to replicate their darts in rubber. However, I'm thinking aluminum darts with a glue in installation might look more appealing.

Hehe. Cool. My darts from Fabrizio should be on the way soon. These would go nicely with them.

I'm curious to see how well the hyperfirm takes rub n buff.

Have you took over this project now Cruzer?
Is a run going to start at some point soon?
Be interesting to see how they go with Rub & Buff too.

They should work as long as the large darts have the shaved side, similar to Dark-Side's special darts. I happen to have some of his special darts and they fit BKBT's knees perfectly. If you have the regular set, I'm sure a little time on a grinding wheel or on some 180 grit will do the trick.Hehe. Cool. My darts from Fabrizio should be on the way soon. These would go nicely with them.
I was indeed the lucky person as this was a project that was discussed between us when I took over production of his parts. They'll be offered like the rest of BKBT's armor once the molds are completed for Hyperfirm production, and I'll try to do a run if time permits. This first set of molds are only for resin copies that will then be modified for the production of of the final molds for Hyperfirm production. They should hold R n' B fairly well seeing how it worked well with the Hyperfirm Westars. Plus, I'll be looking into "dusting" the molds with a silver additive.

This is going to be nice for trooping.

You can count me in for a pair! Awesome!
Absolutely wicked Lorenzo... wicked!!
I'm VERY interested in a set done in Hyperfirm rubber. So if you could please let me know once you've got those molds ready to go. If you could also PM me with an approximate ballpark figure of what you think the Hyperfirm variety might run so I can prepare, I'd greatly appreciate it my friend.

Check post #26 for that "ballpark-figure" guys.
Mandalorian Guard, I'm not sure there will be a "run" per se, but for sure they will be offered like all of BKBT's other pieces. I'll need to wait and see what my work/personal load is at the time the Hyperfirm molds are ready. However, I do know I'll have a week long vacation around Easter that'd be ideal for doing any official runs.
I pulled the molds out this morning and I'm very happy with how they turned out. I probably used a little too much silicone on the side pieces, but oh well, better safe than sorry. As soon as I can find some "free time"(now that's funny)...I'll get started on the solid resin casts that'll be used for the Hyperfirm molds.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement in this project, and a big thank you to BKBT for making some awesome pieces...was there ever any doubt!
