I recently got a wizard's castle...and I'm surprised that the quality of old resin cast can be this...bad, full of air bubbles and holes.
Is this something you can expect from old Warmaster model ?

Thank you!

I think the first question needs to be: Is it an original model or a recast? Clean, shiny new primer makes it a little suspicious.

I actually think with a bit of scraping and shaping those impurities makes it looks weathered... Just my thought. Cool looking pieces though

That's quite an interesting question! TT ...didn't realize that until you mentioned it.

Why is it coverd in holes?

I have the same question since I got the piece and doubt that it occurs during the casting process.

I used to work for a company called aldona seals, which was a injection moulding/extrusion factory, this would happen if the rubber mix was contaminated with plastic.

It could easily be remedied with green stuff, its still a beautiful piece of scenery it has a atmosphere about it even when it's not painted.

Thanks for the the explanation! Always nice to hear from someone with first-hand experience.
