Has anyone on here actually tried doing this? I have cast some models of things that I have sculpted and even a few bits like some out of print Milliasaurs and it is a TON of work. It is also quite expensive to buy the mold making material. And let me tell you about the mess it makes. Sweet moses - that stuff gets everywhere and is about impossible to clean up.

To me you just aren't saving any money by buying a box of models and trying to cast them. You would have to cast a gob of models for it to pay for itself. And the quality is going to be quite low until you get good at it - and that is going to take more material, more time, and make an even bigger mess.

I have not been happy at all with any models that I tried to cast using this process - it was pretty much a wast of materials. I did learn a lot from it and now I make my own resin bases and am even thinking about modeling up some terrain.
