Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image Posted Image Every now and then I get a itch and I just have to scratch it.My latest itch has been molding and here's the results.Most of the cast items are the first run so the is a little funk on them still.I have to fiddle a little more on a few of the molds to get a better flow but you can get a good idea anyways.The dungeon tiles if just a little hydrocal is poured in can be broken up as modern floor tile which I hadn't planned on but is a definate bonus!The molds are made from Oomoo 30 pourable silicone which is about 25.00 for about 3 ilbs of 1 to 1 mix ratio product.I have several molds that I still use made of this stuff from 3 years ago.In the long run I save money on the bases alone let alone all the terrain dressings so its do able.Plus my brother wants a dungeon tile set, I've got two other molds,so I can make him a nice one for his birfday ^_^

More great work. I am tempted to make some moulds myself. It would be a bonus for those bigger projects and a cash saver.

Damn, those are sweet Inky.

Ya should make about sixteen different bases of different sizes and shapes and sell 'em on da internet. It won't make ya great amounts for dollars but it could add a supplemental income.

They turned out well,putting the tinfoil cast in a bed of sand is key.There is a article on this at Terragenisis.Cant link to it now i'm on my PSP,sorry.
