Just one....I used a method of mold set up that I had never tried before. Worked out nicely and I have two molds of the set.
Yeah no way in hell I would even try that. Now I'm gonna have nightmares.
Nice!...I had horrible visions of one mold per piece...what a headache that would be!
May want to cast that DG Snake Eyes/POC Night Fox webgear in a dark brown. Looks like the GIJCC flubbed another figure… 
Check the FSS 2.0 thread!
It's someone's webgear who was supposed to be brown, but is black instead.
Hey Jesse (or anyone else), has anyone had any issues with the black flex-resin you use… just sort of ripping apart?
It could be that I just put a vest that was too small onto a torso that was too big, but it seemed to fit fine when I put it together last week. It's the Retaliation "Night Fox" vest (that awesome vest!) that was on the 5-point shitty buck and I put it on the Retaliation Flint (the Mouse/Shock Trooper torso) and it even fit great over that silly glued-in collar…
Then tonight I noticed that it was lying in 3 pieces beside the figure, split with a shiny edge on the insides where it broke apart. Kind of like it just exploded off the body! I am trying to glue it back together, but I doubt it'll hold.

I have. On the vests that have smaller shoulder straps (retaliation Beachhead vest) they just snapped when I tried cutting the excess outta them.

I like the tools, I would pick those up.
And as for the resin breaking issue, I had a Wraith vest break on me a few days ago, but I think that was just me placing to much stress on it while putting it on a body.

If you guys need replacements for ones that broke send me an email or hit me up on Facebook. I know the older resin I was using was a problem but I hadn't gotten and neg feedback since I changed it. I have some different resin I'll try for the vests with thicker cross sections.

Thanks Jesse.
And Slaymaker, I'm game for those Bazooka Trooper vests and almost everything in that pic you included that has all the "awesome tiny gadgets". Especially the camera, tools, and electronic devices (like the computer thing that came on POC Beachhead).

Is there an RPG with removable grenades? We maybe could make one of those, grenades and the quiver???
I modded one of mine, but the only factory one was the removable round on the PzB3 that came out in PoC.

The quiver doesn't need to work, I just get tired of seeing people make RPG gunners and don't bother to do anything about extra rounds. Wish I had the old 21st Viet Cong RPG gunner, still. I'd send his pack off to be cast.

It's been a while since I've posted just busy and trying to clean up my mess. Here is a few Joe parts and some 1:12 scale stuff.

I'd love 2 or 3 of those Night viper helmets. Give us a shout in this thread when they're in the store.
I've been thinking of adding another one or two myself... but I think I'm good with two for now lol
Night Viper helmet is up and its cast in black.
