Nene's latest "Shadow"

Remember this project? It's been a while. The plaster took almost a month before it was dry enough to sand. I also got side tracked by several other projects so its time to finish up this mold.

This morning I was able to pour the plaster for my mold. I bought a 24 lb bag of Plaster of Paris (which was only about $13) and a 5 gallon bucket to mix it in. I also bought a fancy mixing rod attachment for a drill. This proved invaluable when mixing that much plaster.

This morning I made a trip to the hardware store and the shop. I got the box built and will be close to ready to pour the plaster next time the north winds come.

The sides of the box:

Test fitting:

My Rotor Harness (which turns out is the older Rotor KickAss, not the Vulto) has a soft squishy foam cone in the boot which does nothing but form the pointy tip of the harness. The Woody Valley Tenax Harness has a plastic shell which can be used for storage. I want the same functionality from my Rotor so it's time to make a fiberglass boot cone.
