The heroes are by Statuesque Miniatures. Superb digital sculpts and immaculate castings.

The doors were mastered as two parts - front and back. Single-part moulds are a piece of cake to make and cast. All you need is silicon and some resin or plaster for casting. Whilst it's cheap per part in theory, the initial outlay for materials will bump the cost, so bear that in mind.

I've taken to making masters for single part moulds directly on a base sheet of styrene. Once you've done, cut around the master leaving 10-15mm around the edge of the base. Cut some sides from the styrene sheet that are taller than your master and simply tape them to the base making sure there are no untaped gaps for silicon to escape through. Mix your silicon and pour it in your mould. Once the silicon has set, you're ready to cast :)

Here is a mould box and parts immediately prior to casting:

I'd definitely recommend having a go as it's a really useful 'tool' to have in your kit. Good fun too :)

really nice stuff here. and nice to see those statuesque minis painted up too. im not a huge fan of the cartoony look on them but the elf is definitely on my to grab list :)

magnetic boards...i was toying with this idea. mainly to prevent modular boards shifting around. however. id need a metal table to play on in order to make it work how i liked lol.
great stuff all in all. cant wait to see more |_P

I'm realising that the thing that makes the minis really stand out is those really sharp bases.

I use round ones similar to these for my AHQ, and RS one for my HQ set, but the look of a good base cannot be understimated.

What magnetising process are you using on the bases?
