Haven’t posted in a while with regards to the 1/60 Lancer II SF-3A scratchbuild that I’m working on. Anywhoo, I’ve decided to outsource some of the parts, specifically the main cannon to a machine shop. This is because I didn’t have the equipment to make a tapered pole and the ridges of the Main Cannon.

It was initially hard, looking for a machine shop that could make the part, given the small dimensions. I realized that being in an agricultural region means that there are only few shops that have the equipment to make that kind of detail in a piece of steel.

This is a shot outside of a batch of casted resin in silicone rubber molds that I am working on for the scratch build 1/60 SF-3A Lancer II project. Why is this outside and baking under the sun? well I’m hitting a problem with my resin casting because it seems that the resin sometimes doesn’t want to totally dry inside the mold.
