@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.
Board Frames

In watching some Global 1940 videos on YouTube, I believe I’ve seen some people have little white strips running around their boards. I assume that this is a frame to keep all 4 panels together, and if it is, I’d love to know where I can find something like that.

Don’t think that’s an “off the shelf” item, and probably made by the individual. -

My wife has suggested a custom picture frame. -
I think it’s just a part of their board. I think they’ve printed their custom modified playing board onto like a vinyl sheet and the white is just the extra area of the sheet.
