@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.

@AdmScuttlebutt
Have a lot of work to do in my “War Room” yet. A&A shares the space with another table the same size which will house my Lionel Train Layout! -
Nice gaming table! Also I like the overhead light, is that is a custom diffuser, or can you actually buy a fixture that looks like that?
-
Ya Sarge as I said I know what you mean. Here’s my 5’ x 12’ Table.

@Intrepid Yes. the light and diffuser is 1 unit. but rare since it was produced back in the 1980´ The name of it is Pipeline.
Found it on a second hand website. -
