@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.

Here is my table.

These are all really cool, I think over the break I have here that I’m going to try and fashion a table (especially since I don’t have one that can fit the entire global game). I’m thinking of something simple, raised edges with cubby holes for the piece boxes and removable legs so if I have to it can sit on the floor or up against the wall when not in use.

@CWO:
Terrific table! I especially like the padding all around it, complete with nice curves at the corners – it looks very professional. Are those casino-style chips I see in one part of the picture?
Thanks! Why yes those are poker chips you see in the picture.
What about those dice towers? Did you make them or are they available commercially somewhere?
