Yeepers, you work really fast!

Wish it was that simple. However, the silicone rubber mold is up and
running, with two good casts made; the extra bits for the aft end -
flaps, RCS, hatch - are now embedded within silicone rubber, hopefully
with first casts made sometime tonight. Should be in limited production
tomorrow (limitted because I'm about out of resin, and the manufacturer
no longer sells directly to the public, the *******s).
