Well after a successful set of gravestones I thought I would give something smaller a go.

I was less than impressed with the outcome. The mould wouldn’t take the detail. Personally, I think it was because of using the Lego box. The base level mould was quite thick and I think I put the weapons in too deeply and then there was quite a thin layer on the top. I used the pressing device to add the next layer in and I think there were air gaps that basically didn’t allow the moulding medium to ‘flow’ properly around the weapons.

I had some green stuff handy so I used that. It has come out as a flexible piece which isn’t really useful, but the moulding is quite blurred and I will use it on bases and things like that but to actually put in the models hand? I doubt it very much.

I have redone the process with both a new mould and used Milliput. We shall see how it comes out.
