Finally started casting the smaller components of my custom SE-14r PVC pipe kit...

I found that lining the blocks with cheap packing tape helps to cut out any leakage, makes for a tidy mould and the silicon comes away easily.

I have to say I'm pretty stoked so far. It's my first time dealing with two piece silicon moulds. Next will be the interchangeable pistol grips and the main body of the blaster. The pistol grips will also be done as a two part mould to reduce the amount of finishing and to ensure they sit firm against the handle of the main body.
