Great job man!
Thanks.
I've added some weathering washes to the tabletop. After those dry I need to do a light drybrush of the roadway and add waterfx to the large crater. After that the Tabletop is done. I'll get pics up tomorrow after I get out of work.

Lego Bricks are some of the BEST mold form materials out there. You can build almost any size and shape, and they are water-tight.

sorry if this is already posted, but what products are your molds made of? I'm on the smooth-on website, and wondering if thats the OOMOO (doesn't need a scale) or one of the mold max lines.
<--has a few hirst art molds and is making a large scale project. Casting sections all at once is HUGE.

The GT was... Okay. there were some SNAFU and FUBAR things that caused a snowball effect of holding up the start of a few things but, on the whole I had fun.

Pics of the "Raven sector" table in use.
Aaaaaandd here is a Pic of a table that just needs to well to be kind. Die. (really I think it should be burned but that's just me...)
Thankfully I didn't end up on this table, I ended up on THIS one (which was actually worse.) It LOOKED cool. (crappy GW vacuform craters aside) but played Awful.

This was beautiful, but all that resin is very expensive. How many gallon units did you go through? And how much Mold Star? I really want to get and use some of those types of products but the money just isn't there.
I am hoping for my table that I will be able to replicate a lot of the same look with a modicum of financial expenditure on Styrene and square tubing for framing. Although, that broken edge concrete look is absolutely amazing.

The mold making silicone is kinda expensive but totally worth it (I have a Smooth on products dealership near me so I didn't need to spend money on shipping.)
I used around 60-70$ worth of Moldstar 15 for ALL of the molds for this project.
http://www.reynoldsam.com/Mold-Star%3D-15,-1/c1306/index.html?catdepth=1
As far as how much the resin cost... I didn't use resin. I used a Gypsum based product (dental stone) called "excalibur" It costs around 40$ per 50 pound box. (I used around a box to cast everything)

My dentist actually recommended that, alginate he called it. he said a five pound bucket was cheap.
My wife is nixing the Mold Star purchase at the moment, but I am hoping she will come around. There is so much I want to do with casting.

Heh I recommend the "trial" pack to start with (relatively cheap) and gives about a half gallon size volume (800ML) of RTV silicone.

@ Galorn, dsteingass just linked to this thread, I am a huge resin casting fan. I love the terrain you did. Question, how durable is the excaliber dental plaster? I have a small bag of it that was given to me when I bought a bag full of molds from Hirst arts at a Dragon Con back in the day. I never tried it out. Also do you have a blog other than here on dakka?

It's pretty tough stuff. not as tough as resin. (especially in very thin pieces) but for walls and similar things its plenty tough for casual gamer use.

Thanks. That was the goal actually. Posters I made using a combo of Open Office, and WS Word. They were printed on standard Laser printer paper then cut out and glued on with a 50/50 elmers water mix.
