It is. I bought it from here: www.etsy.com/au/listing/119854...
It was cheaper to purchase than make one myself.

Only 21.33 USD!! Wow! O_O That IS cheap.... I like it. I would have used Sculpey, but it'd never be this shiny and it may break...

Ikr! I would have sculpted with super sculpey and cold cast it - given the price of materials here this was definitely the cheaper and more efficient option.

You can add metal powder to the resin, so it has a metal finish. Makes it look all spanky and ... metallic lol.

I'm in Australia. Everything here is more expensive that the States, and many things are difficult to source It is getting better, but still frustrating when trying to build things!

It doesn't come out all bumpy and speckly?

It seems as tho you're only down by 5 dollars... but yeah, it does make a difference. Even the USD sucks compared to other countries, everything costs an arm and a leg here.

nope! It's very fine powder, and the finished piece is smooth with the weight of metal. Some info here: www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?...

Our dollar is fairly comparable to the $US, except we have to pay a buttload for shipping Our products are taxed, so it also makes things a lot more expensive.

I'm hoping it looks more complicated than it is lol. I think it's mostly just tricky working out how much of the metal powder to add, so it'll probably take a couple of tries to get that right. 

If I buy books online I have to pay a shit-tonne in postage Sucks poop!
