Hi All Having read Ross's excellent thread on the rad dismantling, I happened to notice his "Spirit of Ecstasy". So I thought I would submit some pictures of my attempts at playing around with my moulds. Hope you enjoy. | ||

Patrick, Great work! What more do you need to do? Lights? | ||
| ross kowalski Grand Master Username: cdfpw Post Number: 305 Registered: 11-2015 |
Oomoo 30, the Rolls Royce of tinset castable silicones.  Wonder what's in there? | ||

Wow, Great work Patrick. Very sweet looking mascots that's for sure. | ||
| Patrick Francis Experienced User Username: jackpot Post Number: 34 Registered: 11-2016 |
Hi Ross OK I've guessed what's in it! Are you casting some kind of metal, or is it a plastic/epoxy? | ||

Hi Ross, I am sure I will. Benny looks kind of bare without one. | ||

Everything comes to those who wait...... Only problem is some have to wait longer than others  . . | ||

In the fullness of time. | ||

I just got back and still haven't demolded the clear one with the embedded cast I left in the shed but here's a picture of some of the test casts I did of the same mold.  | ||
| Patrick Ryan Grand Master Username: patrick_r Post Number: 1204 Registered: 4-2016 |
WOW! Awesome job Ross. | ||
| Alan Ford Prolific User Username: herne13 Post Number: 160 Registered: 8-2016 |
You took the words right out of my mouth Patrick. Ross your work is outstanding. Cant wait to get a finished one on Benny, I think it will set the car off nicely and if it lights up then all the better and if not I wont sweat it. I will be just happy to get anything on there, I think the Bentley looks kind of naked without something there. | ||

5star Ross! | ||

Patrick, Have you been casting more? If you want to led one let me kniw and I can write up a parts list how to sort of thing. | ||

   Hi Ross I have managed a few, and they all look good on the car, actually crystal like. I have installed an LED inside the grill which comes on with the side lights. Not as professional as yours I'm afraid, but definitely turns a few heads. Funny thing is that this particular glass look epoxy has a melting point of 75 centigrade! I have not had a droopy lady yet!!  but the time may come. She (the car) was a VIP guest at a rally in Morocco where the temperatures were quite hot and she (the glass lady) survived. Attached a picture of the Glass Lady lit up, SRH 17968 on the rally, and a jar opener that every Shadow owner should have to open the radiator cap with - saves getting the fitting and wrench out and chewing the plastic. | ||

Patrick, Looks great! I don't understand the strap wrench though. The droopy lady thing is actually pretty funny. I made my first cast out of a soft epoxy and one can bend the mascot all kinds of ways and it slowly pops back. Pretty weird. | ||

Hi Ross Love the Silver Lady doing yoga! My Shadow has a large plastic screw on cap on the expansion tank you that has to be unscrewed using an insert from the toolkit. I use the jar lid remover instead. |
