That looks amazing! If I had a Star-Lord I'd be all over it!

I'd be well up for one of these 
Prep work is almost done before sending the parts to the caster to be quoted.

Looks good. Waiting to hear what the price will be.
I'll have a much clearer indication on pricing once the caster gets back to me on estimates. Obviously the more interested the lower the price. Stay tuned.

I'd be interested as well... great work on an awesome accessory!
Thanks guys
This is going to look amazing with the real wires installed, painted and weathered.

Awesome little update for you guys.
I sent the first half of the parts off to the caster to start on with the rest going out soon to him.
I asked him to color match the resin with the shoe color to minimize the paint process, and to also experiment with casting the soles in matching yellow rubber.
He did not let me down.
The bad news is as complex as the molds are, he estimates I might be lucky to get 10-12 sets of the casts before the molds are junk.
I would seriously subscribe and be ready to jump in if you are interested because this is going to be pretty limited.

Interested.
Once I can get the caster yhe final pieces, nail down the molding amd casting costs I'll be able to deliver a little more concrete price. And because I have done so many runs where people flake, I am going start with this run doing a non refundable deposit to lock folks in
The other variable is I'm in conversations with a couple of painters trying to see if any of these guys might have bandwidth to offer the service as an additional charge to that painter.
There will obviously be the option to go with a kit and do your own painting as well.
Now to clarify, I'm It saying that a second run is off the table later on, however new molds will need to be made and that's another up front investment. Amd if a second run only ends up with say...5 people, it's not cost effective to re mold for a few one offs.
I'm hoping he can pull enough castings to support the interest but we will see.

I saw this on FB. Yes, I want one as long as there's a reasonable amount of time from payment to delivery.
Thanks
