Rubbery Resin

[thedreadking]

Does anyone know what sort of resin is used for forge world models?

It seems to have a very rubbery feel to it and the resin isn't as brittle as the stuff i use.

Would like to cast some robes for some models but its quite thin and fragile.

Any help would be appreciated as always guys

Cheers

it is a polyurethane.

What exact brand and what colours they add to it, I do not know. I doubt they will tell you either

They seem to use a couple of different resins, depending on the job, but since the move to Shanhai China for the majority of their casting, it seems to be a single type of polyurethane resin.

As for it being rubbery is interesting, as none of the FW stuff I have has been rubbery for many years. Perhaps you got an older model from the shelves, of if it was second hand, has been cleaned in something not too good for resins?

Hi,

I had heard that the production had gone to china, so much for made in the UK!!

The models I have seen is a space marine called huron, when you look at the model the claws are very very fine, I know the resin i use is to brittle for parts same as that.

Thats not what I am after tho, its for robes and clothing parts for my models, the thickness of the parts is about 0.5mm and i fear that the bits will snap once used on the gaming table, the FW stuff seems to have some spring to it

I also bought a model from hong kong - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WH-MPG-Converted- ... 2eb15a2fbb This also was made of the same stuff, very plastic/resin and the parts are flexible.

cheers

Well She sure Likes her sculpting and casting..... cool stuff but a little out of my budget right now...

Now with the resin..... Maybe try a slow cure resin??


While I do not necessarily promote this company I have used their product range and this one in particular and know I have gotten a VERY sturdy banner and staff from it. it was about 5 inches long and made from a long toothpick (cocktail pick) with GS standard banner sculpted and then cast. The cast actually was stiff enough to pierce skin with the banner, so I hope it would work for you Dread...
