Well they were supposed to be painted red, but the first pass had trash in it and the second got trash in it as it blew off the stand (couldn't hang it) so the last pass he was out of red, so.. 

I was supposed to get it today, but didn't make it before he left, more to come.

Well I have been sick since Sunday and I didn't get out of bed Monday - Wednesday.  I was hoping to have the mold for the pod done by now but the week prior was too cold and this week, well...

I don't have a timeline as the finished product will be a 3 pod set.
