D-Sserd build begins

I'm getting a group L-Gaim build together over at the best modelers community online.

This is my entry: an old Bandai 1/144 D-Sserd.

OK, so this is SO not anything to do with mecha, but it is a sculpture project I'm working on right now. So I'm posting an image here, if only to let anyone who actually reads this blog know that I am working on SOMETHING.



And furthermore, I will be cleaning this up then making a few molds and casting copies of this over the next few days.

I'll shoot some video so you can see the finer points of RTV and resin mixing and pouring in a flat one-sided mold.
