Problematic!

I was hoping today to be posting some WIP painted hospital beds, but unfortunately I am not able to. Over the weekend we tried casting the hospital beds but we don't seem to be getting much luck! Air keeps getting trapped in places where the resin finds difficult to flow into (as it's thicker than water). There is pretty much little we can do about it apart from keep trying.

So today I bought some new/different resin, which hopefully has a low enough viscosity to flow into all areas. It will hopefully be here near the end of this week, but could be here next week. I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try right?

Most of the bed comes out fine, but all seem to get minor issues, either with the clipboard or the people's faces or some other random part not quite coming out properly. So I am not happy selling stuff which isn't casting correctly. So if the new resin (when it arrives) is still not producing results, I may have to remove the clip boards from the feet of the beds. If that fails...I'm kinda stuck for ideas. Casting in metal would be far too expensive.

It's put a bit of a downer on things as I was excited to get them cast. I'll try my best to test out different things. I'm determined to get them cast somehow, so it WILL be done! It's just a matter of time and tons of trial and error.

On a more happy note, here's some shops I bought/made. I plan to do a lot of conversion work with them, such as put in a Grekwood Miniatures shop and a bigger supermarket ;)

Over and out...
