What an amazing transformation! I want to know how you reconditioned the formed pieces that have the shapes moulded in to fit the tool(s). Are those pieces made of a polystyrene plastic and coated with some kind of spray-on flocking? Whatever the case (no pun intended), that looks PERFECT in the photos!
