been watching your build thread, love it!

Looks great! If these models are purely for display do you plan to mount them on display bases or anything?

[blind pig]

Yeah, that came out really nice and I like the damage you went with on the front cowling.

This is only your second go at casting, yeah? Geez, I hate you.

[smtk]

Yes this was my 2nd model but nearer my 20th mould because of all the sub-assembly's

here's 2 on the way to be shipped to some large scale Battletech fans;

Ooooh I see you've picked up some black pigment?

[smtk]

yep

I couldn't find any grey polyurethane dye. So I'm playing with adding a little dabs of black to the resin (above was 5% came out jet black). I'm guessing just a tiny droplet would suffice for a grey tint.

[mangozac]

Yeah I was doing the same early on. It's amazing how far the pigment goes - like you say you only need the tiniest drop!
