    Ok I'll check that out when I have more free time to organize my pics.

    For the joints normally I avoid using ball joints in my designs as I've not found a proper way to cast parts that remain tight. I'll probably still use them in this project as BB's very small and light. The best ball/socket design for resin is to use the hobby type balls that's kinda soft so it won't give the resin that much pressure, and make a nice spherical hole using a dremel ball bit. Normally holes that are drilled into solid resin are stronger than holes cast by inserting rods or balls. As for the balls, I use beads connected through metal rods normally for my custom figures as they are much cheaper.

    Yep I'll be milling the parts out when done. Wanna try out a new idea cut not really confident to do it properly though.

    how much does it generally cost you to make a one off prototype, say I wanted to pay you to prototype a model I have already in a Maya file
