Thanks guys. The best video I've seen showing how to make two part moulds is here,Pinkysil 1kg kit at Barnes Products Pty Ltd. It's the way I make mine. I use this Pinkysil stuff too and it rocks. Basically all you need to do is impress the keys in the clay bed, I use the end of a paintbrush. I've been adding more and more of them especially around the break line to try and stop mould shift. worked well here as I had very little mould shift on this one. Make sure you use a fair bit of mould release between the mould halves. I use vaseline it works a treat. Also making sure that the pouring sprue enters on the bottom and there is a nice vent on the top makes for a happy mould. HTH

Great stuff Dan, thanks a lot. I'll have to have a look for this stuff in the UK - hopefully my local art shop will be able to get it, as they stock the other casting materials.

Does this mean that you'll venture into miniature and scale gnomes and Hippocroccofrogs?

Thanks Wayne! I'm busting my hump to get this little one finished first for an LSP OOB Group Build.

Very nicely done Dan. It's quite a nice kit that one - I built the original 'Matchbox' moulding, in 'civvy' colours, about 25 years ago, for a friend who owned a real 'Tiggie'. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
