Here is a peek of the repair rare thrift store find. Gotta love that W.E. Green!!! I took the two knobs off since one came broken and I am wondering if I should try and cast a new knob to replace the OG one. Also someone at the thrift store plugged this in and 100% sure the multi cap dried and shorted out. It’s insides were coated in potting material fumes. The transformer shows dead short, so I am hoping that it was not totally wrecked from a meltdown.
Stay tuned and take care of each other.
Resin and lit mixed upon some silica glass beads. I have found that you can cast onto glass if you first spray it with some mold release. I really like the Smooth-on line of casting and mold materials.

Also please be safe around these home UV bulbs. Some of them emit a crap tun of UV light and it is bad, really bad for your eyes and skin over time.
Gotta take care of each other.
The side fruit are actually made from round lava stone beads. I have found they are lightweight and being porous take to painting well.
The monster has an armature made from a discarded holiday ball decoration.
