We poked around about doing this a year ago but where to start got us hung up! Due to the DRD Strange shape and size larger that the makerbot , 3d printing the whole shell as one piece was not possible. However drawing details and then applying them to a hand made oval body is totally doable! This is the start of the project , I wanted to get something together that could be shared with the rest of the community. Once details are glued on then you can use a DREMEL to dig out the cavities between details. This is what makes them POP!

Hello everyone , I will look forward to making a mold of my master soon. I believe the copies will be fiberglass or polyurethane based resin.

I finished shaping and etching out the lines so that it is ready to me cast into a master mold. Going cheap instead of the super expensive stuff. Liquid latex layers , once it is built up Then build up a hard layer for support. If anyone is interested in buying one let me know , I made eye stalk pods and a claw too.

The latex I was using was super watery thin so I switched to Mold Builder from Hobby Lobby, this is one coat, this stuff is much thicker than the previous liquid.
After three coats of the watery stuff...After one good coat of mold maker you can really see the difference in thickness
