Happy new year dear fellows.

However i consider the new resin Mithril no more collector items. PA is now printing on demand with pre orders and 3D allows infinite variants easy to produce.

I have to agree. The one thing I always disliked was a figure out of resin and plastic!

If a miniature really triggers my fancy, I have to recast it in metal!

I am curious master Caster, you’d be able to recast in metal figurines printed in 3D? isn’t it perilous? and the “type of detail” would be too hard I think (most of all because they are printed in one piece…)

Well Master Gildor, of course it is possible to make a mould from a printed figure. It’s like a master figure. Even if it is very complex. There is also the possibility to cut a part of and cast it separately. 🤪

I also have made moulds for spinncasting with loose parts of the mould for extreme undercuts in the mould. Everything is possible. 😎

but doesn’t it damage the original ?

No, silicon rubber doesn’t stick to the figure. You just have to be careful when you embed the figure in the mould.😉

so I suppose that resin /printed figurines are easier to “counter-mould” than grayprimed metal ones (which require uncoating) 🙂

Correct re undercoat. The rest depends on the actual figure on the way it is printed (pose of fig).

MZ701 the end of Mithril pewter figures is a nice example of how pewter casting works easiest without the mould being stressed. No undercuts at all!

You would be able to cast this figure in one cast, except for the spear. Many undercuts and lots of stress for the mould. On the other hand you most likely can print this figure in one piece including the spear.

Gone are the times where you had horse and rider separated. All one piece…. I don’t like it. Because of that I said what I said regarding recasting a figure in pewter if it is “very much” to my liking.
