Well, Monday I was again with my tabletop friends, after having not having time the last weeks. I showed them the Zealot website and at least one has a quite a long wishlist now, but will have the money only in may. We would like to order together, so is the Elf & Wizard sale still valid in may?

Thanks guys, thinking of doing a hooded version later on too.

Sure thing Bene, they should make it into the store proper soon enough! Thanks for spreading the word

With luck - Friday! Do you want me to hold off posting and stick some candles in too?

Sure! Am I too late? If not, should I order some at the shop?

Lol yea, since he can hover and fly he'd probably be quite good at basketball!

Ahh yea your order is dispatched Daedalus, now the candles are in the store under the dungeon section Working now on a table to put them on!

I been meaning to bring this up since I got the bases, and figured it could be something worth sharing with everyone. The bases I got from you were largely okay, but a great deal of them required actual heavy-duty sanding to level out. I wasn't expecting perfectly smooth across the board, but some of them were so ridden with air-bubbles they snapped during filing. This is not a complaint, necessarily, and its not a call-to-arms. I just want to share my method for casting resin pieces so that they have smooth tops.

If a two-part mold is required for a smooth surface, but we only have one-part molds, then logically one one-part, and the bottom of the other, are also a two-part mold. When I cast resin or plaster in Hirst Arts molds, I always slightly overfill each mold and then gently stack another mold of the same size and shape on top of them. No scraping with a paint-scraper, or any of that *lemony goodness*.

It's pretty awesome all right!
Though I think you should add a classic pointy wizard hat.
