I decided the hollow castings weren't consistent enough, the solid ones seem to be working well and the mold so far is holding up perfectly!

Can I modify my request from a chair to, a chair and a castoff?
These are looking great, I would like a seat for my TMP Klingon!

Okay so I have casted a batch of these and the new mold is working much better and much more consistently.



The new mold was more expensive than the old one so I am going to charge just a little more, however I still have the original castings and will offer those for less than originally planned. I also have two hollow castings, these are less warped than the originals but are very thin at the bottom and had more bubbles. These will take some work to reinforce them at the bottom.



Original Casting (5 available) $15
Hollow Casting (0 available) $5

New Castings
Currently have 6 of these but should be able to make quite a few more if needed.

Kit $25

Painted (clean/weathered) $30

I will disregard all the previous requests in light of these changes, but I will make sure that everyone gets one.

If your interested send me an email to: s8film40@me.com
Include what you would like, name and address to ship to.

Thanks,

Well actually, I've had this sitting on my desk for the past few months. I end up looking at it everyday thinking about how it could be built.

Wow, sorry to hear the headrest broke off. I test each one by lifting it by the headrest and shaking to make sure it's on real solid. It should be a very easy fix any glue should be good modeling glue, crazy glue, super glue etc. It can certainly be an optional piece since even the actual chair that inspired this model was seen with and without a headrest. Also if your not comfortable with gluing it but want it back on send me an email and I'd be happy to have it shipped back and I can fix it. Thanks!
