New moulds

Morning all. Yesterday, I received my first two moulds from Hirst Arts. They're silicone moulds, much like the ones I tried making myself. Main difference? They're a lot better. They actually look like what they're supposed to be ;)

I'm planning on buying a few more, of different designs,but I've read that's the common problem with these. Once you get started, it's difficult to stop. After all, you can cast as many blocks as you want, and use them to build whatever you want. The creator of the moulds has an interesting policy. He has instructions on how you can create your own moulds, using his as masters. Just don't sell them :D Most I'd be doing, though, is casting multipart pieces as a single piece. Like standard wall sections.

Anyway, some pictures.

 

 

My first castings. There are two moulds here. The 302 Cargo bay accessories mould, and the 277 large grating.  I'm planning on picking up the 278, 279 and the 301.  Long term, I might get some of the basic blocks too. Something to build a tower, or so on. Or for ruined walls, on a terrain piece.

After turning the castings out, from two sets:

I think I'm going to stop using the build in client to take these photos. They're just not that detailed. And the flash just looks really weird.
