One of those days


Resin shorts

I was working on some resin casting in particular my new 40mm bases when I managed to tip 30ml of fast cast resin over my crotch. Not an experience I plan on repeating EVER!
Fortunately I responded quickly and missed anything important. It still took about quarter of an hour scrubbing my leg raw to get the little that seeped through the fabric. The resin set completely solid in the fabric.

Then cleaning up the hobgoblin casts I broke a scalpel blade which shot across the room landing on the computer desk where Karina had been sitting a few moments ago. At this point I decided to give up on hobby stuff for the day, before something serious happened.

Square resin bases

As I've started casting my own figures I need something for them to stand on.
I sculpted a cobblestone pattern on to 20mm bases and took a mold from them. 
Here they are cast and painted.
20mm paving stone bases

I sculpted these two last night and I'm going to sculpt another 2, when I've got more green stuff
