Wow, wonderful craftsmanship.

How do you make the mold?

Do you carve a positive and set it in RTV silicone?

Amazing work sir.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, I make a masterpiece then I make a mold with RTV silicone and cast in resin. The tom holder is made in few parts.

Some closer views of the tom holders

ahhh... we get a nice sense of scale for the tom mounts when you're holding them!

Nice attention to detail. I've made a couple of models myself, so I know how time consuming it can be. What are your plans for the completed model? Also, what paint are you using for your chrome? Will stay tuned for more - thanks for posting.

That is some serious bad-assness going on. Very cool!

Since the Asylum tour in 1985, Eric added some SIMMONS electronic drum pads on his set. Those white ones were used during a part of the Crazy Nights tour 1987 - 88.

You my friend are a G#$%%^ genius. :cool:

I didn't post for few days, working on boring stuff, little parts to do, waiting for the paint chrome and looking for the best way to make some part.

So... here's some WIP of the inside of the drums, all are now done, need to start the outside chrome finish and the Chikara logo...
