Over on the Hirst Arts Community page I picked up this little snippet of info. I have ordered 1 sack, and at the time of placing the order they still had 33 sacks left. The price above does not inlcude shipping. they will either quote you for shipping charges, or allow you to arrange your own collection. Hi everyone they have 33 25kg sack left at £12.00 GBP each:

Herculite 2 is one of the hard setting plasters used to make plaster buildings for war gaming. (Sorry, I started this thread in Plaster modelling, then cross-posted it to other forums.) It can be used with silicone molds such as LINKA and HIRST ARTS / CASTLE MOLDS. to create soem really nice and inexpensive terrain / scenics. For a couple of examples of my Hirst Arts projects, please see my blog. orcangrinder.blogspot.com (I just noticed, that the better images are on the OLDER posts. The first page of my blog is mainly text.) |

Herculite II is cracking stuff. I've just used a load for making WW1 bunkers. Got mine from Craft Wise in Leeds. Fiver for a 5kg bag. |

When I phoned up it was about £15.00 GBP for one bag and £22.00 GBP for 2. But it might depend on your location, so it would be worth giving them a ring. |

I started out with Herculite before moving on to resin, in fact I used it as a filler for the resin for some time before changing to another filler and used it to make mould supports for blanket moulds. |
