2022 a year for resolutions... right?
I didn't get distracted! You got distracted!
So I’m still painting on my Clan Wren minis and they are almost done… but I needed something different.
Next to me there sitting silicone moulds from Green Stuff World and I never used them. So on Friday night I just went to town. The first batch (and the rest of my casting material) didn’t go too well. Most parts where way to thin and broke when I de-moulded them. So on Saturday of to the local arts ant crafts store and some more casting material is bought.
This time I made more material as I didn’t have enough in attempt #1 and used a metal spatula to scrape the top of. That helped a lot in regards of filling everything and not having to sand things down later.
Some of the broken pieces (the wall parts in the upper left corner of the picture, the arch- and doorways) have been glued back to back with intact parts from the second cast. So now I have some parts that actually are usable.
I really don’t know when or if I’ll ever need these parts… but I have them now. May even cast up some more… because you can never have not enough tiles can you?
You can use them for basing or perhaps a vignette.
The bad part on these is: the thickness vary greatly. The normal tiles are 3mm thick and that’s ok but the large parts (left to the small square tiles) are only 1 t 1.5mm thick.. thin as a hear and the first cast crumbled to bits. I think these moulds work well for “rubble” and bits but I wouldn’t want to build something big from it. You’d need 8+ castings to get enough building material. :S
They look very nice for Frostgrave
