Another piccy update of the mould making process for this. The mothermould is now done, finished and in the hands of the casting guy!!! Hopefully we've had a prototype cast over the weekend. We'll find out in a few hours I imagine.
The silicone mould is all finished for the faceplate and just needs the mother mould to be done which Gav says will be done today.
Then we need to redo the aerators as the first prototype was a tad too small.
We now have our first dome! I'll post pics of the raw cast and some of the same dome cleaned up, trimmed and primered.
The face is very near ready for casting too so we'll have new pics of that very soon.
Now we just need to mould and cast the three strips for the mouth, and make a new master aerator as the first prototype was a tad too small. Once we have the new one ready, we can mould and cast that and we're good to go!!!
Got a little pic for ya! Here's the original faceplate, silicone mould and its mothermould! We should have our first faceplate cast soon(this weekend hopefully), leaving just the aerators and mouth grill strips to do!
Thanks to Mojo for getting this finished up lastnight!
