Well, that's alright for some.


Questions:

How many different Hirst molds are used in its production?  And what was the mould budget?

Is it glued down for a permanent floorplan?  Or are you leaving it re-configurable? 

If it's reconfigurable, what material do you cast with so that it's durable?  I would think loose pieces are more likely to get chipped.  Your experience?

cheers

8 molds totals, 2 were identical copies of one the floor molds...costs of the 8 molds used currently
is $250. I however only bought 3, this time and borrowed the rest.
the so mold budget for me was $100.00

Currently walls are glued in very large pieces and not glued to the floors with the exceptions of some areas around doorways, which are some looser smallee pieces..I do plan on gluing it all together so each floor piece is its own separate room you can put together. Its semi re configurable...it wasnt designed to be modular in the classic space hulk sense its designed however to be added on to.

Merlins Magic Hobby Stone..which is essentially dental plaster,  its extreme durable...which the exception of dropping it 4 feet on to a concrete floor
it doesn't really chip.

If you're  interested in all the details..click thru to initial blog post I linked to. I go over time, materials, costs, etc...

Thanks

Thanks.  I realised I had probably missed most of the answers I was seeking at some earlier point.
