so. a little update on this. Luke has outgrown his original bucket so I have started the process of making a new one for him. I am hoping to have it done in time for the Washington Nationals Star Wars Night on August 13th.

made another design from a pep file. Used wall spackle and sand paper to smooth out the dome. Then spray painted it and got it ready for the mold making process.

Decided to do a clamshell style mold this time around.

I know. I got smart on this one and made it a little bigger and I have also started on an adult sized one for me. :-)


so after getting the one side done I flipped it over and repeated the process.
