@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.

That is remarkable work! :-o
Great job!
Sooooo jealous!

I am drooling, that is heavenly, uncle Sam.

OMG! that is really nice. Takes it to a whole new level. I would prefer that you paint the insert ( bottom) slate Grey for aesthetics, plus you might just play on one map, while the wood shown looks less appealing. ( perhaps even a felt surface–- again Grey)

Looking very nice!

Probably around $400, plus your cost travelling to Green Bay, Wi
oowch… 400$ thats steep, wow but such beuty. :cry: just to make shure, thats with out the board right?
To be honest, I’d say $400 is cheap for something like this. The time required to build something of this quality alone would be worth around that.

I agree, if only I could afford it.

Like the others have said, fantastic work guys! But now you’re giving me ideas… that’s always dangerous. Hmm, I have a garage, a saw, could get some lumber…

That is exactly what I was thinking.

SO ANYWAYS……
How’s that table coming? Sure looks great. Who else is building tables out there? I’m sure we’d all like some pics to drool over. Any more “command centers”? I may be moving to a house soon with a 3rd bedroom I can convert :-D :evil:
