| We created a gate for attaching to future resin casting projects! |
We started creating silicone molds and doing some small scale resin casting recently for our friend Nemessos Miniatures. One of the most important parts of creating a successful and consistent silicone mold is to attach the piece you are casting to a substantial gate, ensuring that enough resin is poured to completely fill the mold. In the past, we have used discarded gates from Forge World models we had in our collection. We realized it would be fun if we created our own gate that had our logo on it for future casting projects. To do this, Adam created a wedge of modeling putty and sculpted our logo onto it. We were able to create a simple one-piece mold to make copies of the new gate, and quickly made a series of copies that we plan to use in future casting projects.
