Shoulder straps/strips molded and cast, a test pull in 65d made since I had it sitting around.

Chest and shoulder molds were also a success. Wasn't a fan of the plaster bandages mother molds and went back to making a standard one with the mix of rondo and fiberglass.

Test pulls were also made with smooth-on 65d and worked pretty well. I have a friend that will be teaming up with me to learn to cast and mold. Shes been a fantastic help though I forget trying to do this and teach someone at the same time can be so time consuming.
Her first bucket pull, with mold and print clean up done by her as well, Ellie Moon Jelly, local costumer who also works in theaters around the bay area here in CA. She'll also be working on the soft parts for the build. Helmet isn't deathwatch but still mando related!

Mold making is an art, one that I'm mediocre at, very impressed she succeeded in her first try though. The help will really help expedite on making the 6+ sets I need to make. Going to work on paint masking templates next.
