As promised-- we have made significant progress!
  I'll have some photos of the molds and how they are used later, but these photos show the final result. The upper and lower hull pieces are the first parts out of the molds! Scott |

Sweet! Is the lower hull a single piece or is it in quadrants like your smaller Aries?

Steven-
It is one, 2.5 pound casting. I'll post photos of the mold tonight. Scott |

It's been a while since my last Atomic City kit ... how do you ship? My UPS, FedEx, DHL delivery guys are all big beefy dudes. But my postal lady ... is a tiny little thing - although I would NOT want to mess with her! Just wondering if I should warn her to wear a back brace that day.
 Looking as impressive as your work always has Scott. I hope you have a great time at Wonderfest <jealous scowl> and I'll be looking forward to seeing more pictures! pat---- |

I usually ship via USPS Priority Mail. I'll probably shift to Parcel Post due to the whopping change in rates.
I still don't know what this kit weighs, but I'm guessing its going to hit 10 pounds. OY! Scott |

Just gorgeous!!! If I can figure out where to put this beauty (I've already dealt with the 5.5' Discovery: the fireplace mantle!), I will get one too!
Scott, you mentioned that there are two (2) "restrooms"; I've looked at the other pics that show the passenger compartment (with the center access 'tube'), but I don't see where they will go...? Anyway, this is beautiful, Scott. I'm really encouraged to see your progress over the past six weeks. Thanks so much for the updates. -Robert |

Molds--
   The pink mold makes the lower hull, the blue one makes the upper hull. Both are huge and take a whopping amount of rubber to make! As for the question of the location of the Zero-G Toilets, here is the original blueprint for that set:  Scott |

Scott:
Thank you for the photos. I am really looking forward to the day when the kit lands on my front doorstep. How close is launch day? Sorry that you will miss Wonderfest. Best. |
