Don't use tinfoil. You really need a spray-on wax release. However, I've heard of some people melting down vaseline, and painting that on. where the first part of the mold will touch the second part.

Oh. I wasn't sure as I've never actually done this before.

I'll try vaseline then, thanks!

Awesome. So, what could I use? Olive oil, tinfoil, wd40? I'm at a loss since they didn't have anything like mold release there from what she told me.

My wife bought some "Amazing Putty" ( http://www.amazingmoldputty.com/ )from hobby lobby last night, along with the resin from the same company. I had planned on trying out the oomoo stuff but she beat me to the punch.

On one of their videos they cast a seashell in a two piece mold, but never show how to do the two piece mold. I don't want the first part of the mold to stick to the second when I do it, so I assume I need mold release. What could I use for mold release? Would a thin piece of smooth tinfoil work?

Yeah, I will probably try one down by where I work on Monday. What did you change?

Edit: Oh, haha, you removed the copyright notice. Thanks!

I also removed all the dust from the scan, darkened the black areas, and brightened the colored areas. Should look good printed out on vinyl.

Oh, and you're welcome.

I'm pretty positive the Hasegawa stickers will not fit at all on this toy since it's not shaped like that at all.

I'm not sure what size the original sheet is off the top of my head, but I will grab a ruler when I get home! Thanks!

As the others said, see if a different kinko's will print this one. Hope you don't mind, I altered it a wee bit.

yeah, I'd say it's hard to find a minty box like that, but the toy itself is not too hard to find. And if you do find it, it gets pretty pricey. With all the new cyclones coming out, I don't know if this will go down in price or go up in price. So far it looks like it hasn't really gone down by much. And I never knew this version of the cyclone was sold at toys r us. I always thought it was just the robotech box versions that made it to the toys r us shelves.

Mostly I wasn't sure if there was an influx of new (old) stock because of the new releases. My feeling on it is the newer releases are very nice to look at but just as fragile as the models, and you really can't beat the nostalgia of the old toys - for me anyway! I'm really not sure where the value will go either but the few weeks I've been back in the game I've noticed the prices vary wildly from different item listing terms people use.

Now one more question, have you ever seen a cotobye on ebay?

I've been out of the loop lately but I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=330272370921 and was wondering if a box that perfect (other than the sale sticker) is easy to find on ebay?
