Done! First the painted and assembled pieces then the resin inside. Part A of the resin was definitely tainted or expired (if it even can expire?) but since I'm not using it for casting it's not a big deal, it'll cure hard eventually and do what it's meant to do - fill and add weight. It was just a hassle because it kept 'frothing' up as it cured and I had to remove some and redistribute it around before it got too hard.
Once the resin is fully cured, I'll post a picture of the sonic in the stand. I have to adjust some of the tolerances so it all fits together better, and widen the center opening on the top "brass" layer since I had to sand it down a bit on the test print to get the Russrep War Docor's sonic to fit the way it should. Other than that, I think it turned out pretty well, aside from some resin leak through the slots on the inside. Luckily I caught it before it was too rigid and cleaned it up as it cured. I'll need to repaint a few areas so there aren't random glossy patches on the surface.
If you plan to fill yours with resin, make sure you seal up all those joint real good! I thought I got them but apparently one pass with the model cement wasn't enough.
