    Anybody ever build their own rotocaster? I'm thinking of giving it a try.

    I built mine from plans I found on a Google search. I don't have the link, that was 5+years ago. Works great.

    No new sculpts or castings of King Swine or Larry. The molds were not producing good castings any more and I just never got around to making new ones.

    @Greasebat , remember you will have to design your molds to fit your rotocaster. Also, Smooth On sells a plastic just for roto casting, it cures slower than regular resins.

    Sorry to hear that @guf. I'm thankful that I picked up the Larrys and King Swine when I did then. They're both great, unique resin toys, but I'm especially taken with King Swine.

    Currently building one. I was doing it by hand, and it sucks.

    I did by hand also using some quick cute resin and it worked okay. Keep us posted on your progress.

    Yo, Neil! Did you ever build this? Was it worth it? Looking at my options.

    I built a steel on one, it’s cool.
    There is a challenge in having to design the molds.
