Thank you tasoe for your kind words.
Yes, I successfully reproduced the Ogre Warrior using this time modeling Resin.
I produced the main body in one piece so you will have to glue the hands.
The result is amazing, so here are some picks to compare the original mini with the copy.

I hope you'll be able to do the Elf and Barbarian quest packs as well!

That's really amazing, dude!
I think I see a teensy little flash on the inside of the left foot, but that's no problem to even out and I might see too much there.
Otherwise just perfect. I would definitely buy from you.

Here are the results.

Those look great billdask! I am interested in purchasing some bases and an ogre! Do you have any other figs molded?

What is this polyester resin like when cast into the figure?

Is it bendy/hard, brittle/tough?

The polyester resin is hard and cannot be bended, but I don't cast with it anymore. The ones I am casting now are with modeling resin, which is like plastic, bendable and quite soft.

Billdask,
GREAT work. If you ever produce the minis of the Elf & Barbarian packs: I'm buying. Just let me know and I'll buy 'em. |_P
