Hey,
I just finished work on casting my second set of custom cassettes for Soundwave, these are the pics from my deviantArt profile (whodagoose):
(large photos, click to see image full size!)
I hope you like what I did, it takes a great amount of effort to design, sculpt, mold, cast, and assemble working transformer toys by hand.
I do have this pair up for sale if anybody is interested, my ebay seller ID is "tzardz" or you could search for "Transformer Custom Cassette" on ebay. the auctions also have videos of both toys being transformed.
If you like my designs, feel free to check out my website and dA gallery, I have all sorts of other art/kitbash/customs/animation. Hope you enjoy!

Hey everybody! Thanks for the replies
@Countdown - These took a while to cast, I revisited the molds a little bit before August. I spent about three weeks working on them in Aug before I injured my back and was out cold for the rest of the month. A couple days in Sept to finish what was left. So... around 5 weeks of work with this batch.
It should be quicker for me to make more, I know what I'm doing with the molds and I made modifications/corrections to them so they cast easier. (The molds were made 6 years ago! I've learned a lot about molding and casting since then)
@Minerva - The parts are made with Smooth-Cast 300 A+B mixing plastic and tinted base colors while mixing. The joints are held with plastic rods on the Raptor and Brass rods on the Sea Turtle.
