Mold-Making In Progress

Posted on by | No Comments

So, it's been a long time since I did some mold-making, but I had a request to cast some difficult to recreate parts. This is a silicone mold and will have a second half poured on top. Once the molds cure, I can pour resin in the channels (where the white styrene bits are). These will hopefully trap air bubbles below the area of the actual railings. I'll also be pressure casting these in a pressure pot at around 40 PSI, which will significantly shrink any air bubbles. If you are looking to get into resin casting, I highly recommend the California Air Pressure Pot, which will really help with air bubbles. Not to mention, this pot is ready to go out of the box, and is super simple to use.

I’m still kicking

Hey all. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive. My daughter was born last May (May 4th 2020 to be exact). No, I didn't plan that day; it just happened. So, nearly all of my time is taken up taking care of her. However, I'm still working on a some stuff.

I still have the Combat Assault Tank that has been sitting in paint stages. Also, I bought a few other Legion miniatures to work on as well. And, I have about a dozen more Bandai kits that I want to work on at some point.

I'm still keeping the Scales List up to date. I recently bought the Hot Wheels Havoc Marauder, which is in scale with the Titanium Nu-class Attack Shuttle. Moreover, I'm going to be ordering the new Altaya De Agostini Miniatures line, which will hopefully have some models from Mandalorian, Bad Batch, and Sequel movies.

Lastly, I'd love to do a Youtube channel showing techniques and such, but that would require a new camera setup. So, this a FAR FAR in the future wish right now.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell everyone who visits my page, DON'T give up on me yet. haha
