110 ASME of Resin Squashing Love

I just added another pressure pot to my growing horde for resin casting.

Binks is the Maserati of pressure pots and this one is the top of the line that I found used for a sweet price. It is stainless steel and looks to have been only slightly used. I very happy with this pot. It is rated for 110psi but I will never hit that ceiling, 80 psi is the highest you should cast at and 45-60 is normally fine. If you exceed 80 your molds normally start deforming and you end up with a warped and twisted cast.

So with this new pot, I probably won't blow myself up.

In celebration of this new denizen I want to sculpt up and cast a new rpg/wargame terrain piece.

What is a must have terrain piece, that is not always readily available but you wish was in your collection?

I will select one suggestion, sculpt/cast the piece and send it to the winning choice.

All Hail the Gods of Pressure Casting!

Holiday Rush

I am painting and building like a madman. I should have some pic updates in a couple days.

I am finishing up a Doll House for my daughters and have both dragons near complete along with some Malifaux models, a Roman Cohort, and of course more Orks. I may try to crank out an oil painting if time permits. I was going to build a Jedi Temple complex for the Star Wars RPG to give as a present but that will need to wait until January.

If you would like a commission contact me soon, January is filling up fast and I have one slot left.

Spray Booth

This is my $200 DIY spraybooth for my workshop.
I built it from scrap wood, some fluorescent and incandescent lights I had laying around, eight feet of eight inch duct work, and a fan from an airhandling unit designed for a 3000 sq ft system with a disposable furnace filter. The filter keeps paint from being sucked into the fan. It completely exchanges the air and evacuates all fumes in my 1000 sq ft workshop in 5 min.

Its sweet, I never need to wear a mask while I'm spraying in the booth. And if I spray towards the booth anywhere in my workshop I can stay upwind of most fumes. The booth also allows me to cure nasty chemicals in the workshop while I am building terrian tables, by just running the fan.

Here is the motor plate for any tech heads out there who may want to build one.

And here is the Mighty Work Bench
