THE CLUBHOUSE

Going off track again. Thought I'd try my own advise. I'm out off the 2 part silicone for now but I want to make a mold of the little swamp bush. I squeezed a whole tube of painters silicone into a container and picked some other thingy's from the 'Hell Creek Formation' that I haven't built yet. The...

Didn't notice your thread was back and been busy myself. Ya gonna paint the Spike is it goin on your raw display table?

So again Iv'e been working on my display table. Meaning Iv'e been repairing and touching up these old fossils from 20 years ago. I have several to add but I need to take better pics. But still playing here in the swamp. Finished the base itself. Then I thought I only had the little critters left the...

Late to the party. Glad to see your back and working the crew!

Thanx again for the replies guys. Again the whole porpoise :D of this was because I wanted more of this particular cycad tree. It only came with the Spike. I'm happy with it but I wanted to go a step further. Before I started my display table I bought some scale trees and moss for extra stuff. These...

Great news!

Thanx ol amigo.

OK, sooo My weekend project one weekend later. This has been an experience. Have you ever been experienced? Well.... I have! :lol: So I took all the pieces that I made meself and made this base. Once I got into painting this all of the flaws became apparent. The aforementioned air bubbles but also a...

So moving along.. I thought I would try molding and casting a Cro-woman base. I took the time to to invest in some reusable stuff. Made of silicone also and pretty cheap. You can turn these inside-out to clean both the silicone and resin. https://i.postimg.cc/w738yCLF/002-3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/...

Would love to hear/see your input as a newb as well. This is fun stuff!

As far as a mold that shouldn't be hard. I bet you could use a jar lid and a tube of clear silicone like for caulking windows. Would be a cheap experiment.....

Thanx for the replies guys. If I may ask Trevor, what base are you wanting to replicate?

Weekend update..... I ordered a 2-part silicone for molds and a 2-part resin for casting. This stuff is expensive so since this my 1st time I went with 'Amazons Choice'. Still dropped $50+ And of course my impatience kicked in and I dived straight into the deep end! I thought the silicone was colore...

Ok! Sooo... In the 21 years Ive been hanging out here I have learned a lot from the fellow clubbers. Ive always love kit-bashing, conversions and generally just making something my own. Ive learned about how resin kits are made, and now 3-d printing and a whole slew of stuff regarding the hobby. Tod...

Thanx.

A little more progress. Taking my sweet time.

Isn't she lovely? Ive been wanting one of these myself! Nice worx!

Freaking brilliant! Nature is the resource of the crafty modeler! That is a very true statement. Being an artist Ive always believed that we tend to see things that others simply don't. But thanx! :D I'm really happy with the result. So happy I went back to lake today and gathered about 20 more pie...

I got two threads open involving the same subject so I'll drop this one here. Been looking for a way to make cheap rocks for my display table. Me and my son went fishing today and I noticed the little pieces of driftwood floating around..... https://i.postimg.cc/G9JZp2dz/002.jpg https://i.postimg.cc...

I was only three when this came out but I have vivid memories of watching with my father. Fun watch. I'm up to four episodes,
