Good luck with your endeavour! If you need advice on casting, I’m always happy to help. You can also check out @Thom-Thumb’s blog and my ramblings on the topic.
Thanks a lot!!! I will read it this evening really thanks
So little updating, some metal blunderbuss done (that one on the square base), i finally build the hobgoblin ballist and a little lamasu it’s coming!! Praise Hashut!
Good job with the casting. The details seem to be preserved fairly well and it’s almost not noticeable that this is a reproduction. Also interesting behaviour on the blunderbuss: it seems to be shrunken a fair bit but the details are still there — some mould expansion when pouring in the hot metal or simply the metal contracting? The latter can happen when the mould is cold, so the temperature difference is high. Usually, I have to do around 10 casts before the mould gets up to temperature (putting it in an oven beforehand at around 100C also helps) Are you using regular silicone or heat-resistant one? I’m asking because I currently rely on HTV silicone which is hard to come by, so more convenient alternatives are always welcome.
Otherwise, very nice paint jobs all around.
Hello i think metal contracting, I use heat resistent silicone. Thanks a lot!!!
Wip from my army, the new wonderful giant with the flame thrower on top (I can play it like this on 9th age) and the awesome firebulls, my Kdaai
So impressed with everything on the blog.
Metal @Fabelzel miniatures - so cool
The beautiful popping colour scheme
The commitment to goblin green bases
Excellent stuff
Keep it coming
Thanks a lot!!!
So update, I started my elite warrior unit (they’re 25 it will take some time) and moving forward with the firebulls
So good. That plastic warrior is one of my fav minis of all time. Painted beautifully my friend
