    Speaking of painting, are you going to use a brush or spray?

    sorry again for the delays, just trying to iron out a few bumps, getting way too many bubbles in some of these castings than i should be with this resin. Just wanna make sure these turn out the way you guys espect them to.

    o workin on a lead to possibly get these pressure cast, so they would be as close to an actual producted piece as possible, may add more time, but the quality will be infinitely better. Check back for updates, same bat time, same bat channel.

    Well i wasted too much resin getting crappy castings and sought help from a few friends on a prop forum I requent and got an offer for some pressure pot casting, so Im gonna give that a try and these should turn out the way i wanted.
