Mold is done...I hope  lol

It's a complete mess, first time I used this poorman technic, I had quite good results, but this time...Not enough starch, the silicon glued all over everything, too much starch, the silicon went into some kind of snow flakes  lol

I finally added some kind of paint thinner (don't know the name in english), and bake some kind of soft paste, that I poured on the door.

Now it smells a lot, I probably breathed too much toxic vapors (even if I did this outside), and I'm not sure that it will work and don't ruin my premaster in the same time  ;D


It's probably time to study rtv silicon prices...  ???  lol

TOTAL FAIL  lol


The premaster door has been destroyed by the molding process, sadly both mold and master are mixed together, and useless.

So I need to make a new door, and change the molding process.

I think I'll make it in FIMO paste, then I'll make a latex mold. I'll make the master a bit larger, because of latex shrinkage.

I didn't lose my day, I painted 12 more monsters for my fantasy bestiary (skeletons, giant spires, gargoyles, rat swarms)  ;)


THe ugly tecnic I used is quite the same that this one :

Was not that a complete fail. The master I made was not compatible with this technic, that's all. The next master (probably done tonight) will be made in FIMO putty, wich is more like plastic and should be more sturdy with this kind of treatment.

Thanks !

It's a plastic D&D mini, from Castle ravenloft boardgame. All my fantasy monsters came from D&D minis. They are cheap, take paint well (saving time on monsters to pay more attention on heroes).


Here's the other ones I painted. On wraiths/ghosts, I just painted eyes and base. I tried to use some washes, but the result was not good.

I'm also happy with the result. I took me less than 1 half hour on each group of minis. I used 10mm painting technic, and surprisingly, it worked  lol

THanks !

Actually, the eyes are "evil red"  lol But difficult to see on the pics. It's a really fast painting, these days I'm trying to paint a lot, to be able to play a bit  lol

New monsters done yesterday night ! Nothing too fancy, speed painting process (less than 2hours to complete the 9 minis).


Again, D&D plastic minis from the D&D adventure games. Great source for cheap minis !
