Nice job on the grips Dave. I have done some casting with Armalite resin too. Mostly for knife handles. I use the slower setting resin which allows the bubbles time to dissipate before they become trapped.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. And your knife handles are beautiful!
I've used the slow product too, back in my slot car days. I made most of my bodies by "slosh" casting. So I needed it to go off slower to coat the entire mold. I may still try it on these grips too. I cast 5 sets today and 4 of them had voids. Can't have that. I'll use them to practice carving on. I really think I can make them look like stag.
In case anyone was curious about the slot cars, they were 1/32 scale. I made everything for them by hand. From the brass chassis, to the real rubber tires, to the drivers and engines, as well as the bodies. Here's one of the bodies on the left.
And here's a finished car. I love the old 30's-40's jalopies.
I figure, if I can make these things from scratch, I should be able to duplicate stag on the grips.
Hi Dave, that's awesome!!
I am very impressed.

Richard
Thanks a lot Richard.
