Pressure casting equipment

recently checking out a few forums and if i want to get better moulds and better output from them i really need to be using a vacuum chamber to remove any air in the rtv and resin. It's also essential to cast under pressure for even better results.

So off to eBay we go.....

Two weeks of searching and the first deal is bought. Not bad for £40+ some postage. It won't be able to do large moulds but I can live with that.

Not much to look at at the moment but it should clean up nicely.  There's a few more parts to get (pressure gauge and hose adaptors) and it should be ready to rock.

Zing Industries bits

Got some items to detail the imperial trench system today.

These should finish off the trench system and then I can produce some moulds and then cast some resin copies. Beats waiting for eBay searches to return some hits. Last couple I found went for in excess of £120. Total cost to produce mine will be about £10 in resin.

Defence Turret

Just finished the basic design of a defence turret. Still requires a bit of detail and an entry hatch but it's getting there.

Imperial Trench System

After spending years reading other blogs and finding a little time on my hands I've started making use of my shed and resurrected an old hobby.

This is the first set of pictures chronicling the creation of some Warhammer 40K vehicles and terrain pieces.

First up my attempt at recreating the oop imperial trench system.

Still need to complete some of the detailing like the cable work and lights but it's getting there.
