The Headaches of Casting

I'm nearly done with stage one of a project I gave myself in February...try to recreate 11 characters from Stargate Atlantis. I had gotten myself rehooked on the show and it reminded me of how inadequate the Diamond Selects SGA figure line was in terms of characters. So I wanted to try and do a group of figures that included many of the characters I felt were sorely missing.

One being Michael...scary half human/half wraith dude. The head sculpt's done and just needs recast now. However, my mold is deciding to be a pain...

!GAAAH!

So far every cast looks like this...probably need to angle the mold differently so the air doesn't get so easily trapped...though I'm rather happy how well the rest of the details are coming out.
