What's new on 7/21/15

A number of updates:


I don't have a huge project in the works right now except for a 3d Space Hulk Board which is sort of always in the works.  I tend to make 2-3 pieces on it a day just as a place where I pour off excess resin when I'm casting other stuff.

In front of me to be painted, I have:

  • a spiral staircase
  • two trapdoors set in a wooden floor, perfect for a tavern
  • A statue of a viking with a sword
  • A pentagram with bones all around it
  • A big man sized cage (bwa hahaha!)
  • kegs
  • wine rack
  • A raised platform that I think is REALLY cool looking
  • A hobbit hut
  • A treasure chest
  • 10-20 lbs of unsorted bits.
  • A small dose of claustrophobia


To be honest, I've got so much stuff made at the moment that I probably ought to take stock of what is and what is not up, but I don't really have too much time for that because...

The gang and I (collectively known as the Crazy Rabbits) are thinking about publishing on-line interactive novels.  As I have no computer skills and very little by way of business skills, I have been tapped to populate our list of titles (at first, we will soon be bringing on other writers).

My two major forrays into this venture can be found here:  https://interactive-novels.obsidianportal.com/  .  Yes, yes, I know.  Build stuff.

I will.  Don't you worry.  I'm also currently prepping four new molds.  I need sci fi floors because I'm hoping to branch out from fantasy.  To tell the truth, I started many moons ago with 40k stuff and I'd like to do some of that again, but we'll see.

Tip for the day:  

And I do mean that, I just figured it out today.  Some molds have a reverse image that you can use.  Think bunt pan.  Now, obviously you can't pour resin on the outside of a bunt pan, it will just spill off.  But that's not true of all molds.  For instance, I have found that my Tardis mold, when filled on the wrong side, creates really cool looking tech panels.
