@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.

Awesome.
I love how many painted sets are showing up.
Even though I’ve not played A&A in a number of years some of you may not have even reached yet,
the potential of what the game experience could be like get my juices flowing to get my games to look
as playable as possible not just by the mechanics but the inherent ADD of men and boys to have toy Soldiers.
Keep 'em coming. -
Koba and Others,
––Like Wil just said,…I’m very happy that so many people are now painting their A&A units. IMHO, It can make such a difference in the atmosphere of a game, not to mention the “Cool Factor”.
----And I must say,…Nice Job on your painted units. always appreciate seeing others paint jobs, and yours are really nice!
––Also,…I’m glad that Wil’s “juices are flowing” more now, because when he get’s really “pumped up” he starts pumping out some “magic” of his own in the form of new or highly modified units. More Fun for everyone!“Tall Paul”
