I recently commissioned a model for use in my AD&D campaign.  Here are some pics of the unpainted 'green'.  Some of you may recognise it!

I'm planning to make a mould and cast a limited number in resin.  PM me if interested.

Hi Richard,

Seems like the PM system in Acaeum is down ATM.
I'd be interested in a couple. Let me know when you have details.

Faithfully,
Ian

Anyone else managed to send PMs today?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Fun!  

What's resin like to paint, shape, file, etc. vs. lead/pewter?  I haven't messed around with resin models before....

Allan,

Resin is very easy to work and paint.  It's pretty tough, but not brittle, is fairly light and paints well after washing in warm, soapy water (to get rid of residues of mould release agent).  Make sure you give it a good spray enamel undercoat, and paint away.  You can carve it with a sharp hobby knife, file it and sand with fine sandpaper.  Finished resin models can sometimes contain small air buubles, but they're easy to fill with modeling putty.

It really is outstanding stuff, Richard. I would pay for one as well when the time is right.
