Attention!

With the help of my son and his modelling skills I was able to but together a troop of clone army personnel. The initial model was sculpted from plasticine before being set in a latex rubber mould.

 











High quality Polycraft SG2000 Liquid Casting Resin was poured into the mould to create each figure.













There were a few air bubbles but not too bad for a first attempt. Once cleaned up the figures were primed with Humbrol grey primer.













They were all painted the same and individualised with rank markings before being coated in matt varnish.

Little John finds his voice!


Thanks to Locoworks, my Roundhouse "Little John" has found his big voice! The sound card has a realistic horn, start-up and shut-down procedure and speed related running sound.
