Hello,

Two versions of one of my minis painted by talented guys and a clear resin casting:

Let me know what you think please.

Cheers,

It's a shame that clear castings are such a PITA. Slow to cure, highly vulnerable to bubbles, and hard on the molds. I'd absolutely LOVE to get clear-resin models of all the TO camo troops in Infinity. Read as: I would re-buy all the models in clear resin (like how I bought both solid and clear Tomoko and Iseki from Hasslefree).

Fortunately, I managed to snag a set of the TO camo Vanguard troops from Sedition Wars, so I have 10 different models in clear PVC.

It realy is not that hard. all you need is to know how to process the material, have the correct equipment and then it is no harder than pooring standard resin.

have you seen what jed is up to over at antenociti regarding clear cast. infinity Pan O single piece Clear cast cutter that he has done for himself…. now there is sombody who knows how to handle the material….

Well, I didn't cast it myself and thought it was rather well made by the persopn who did it but okay.

BTW Tim, glad to see you're better. I wrote to you some months ago.

The figure looks fantastic in both forms.

It would be excellent to have a squad of stealth troopers in both metal and clear resin for when they activate their camo-suits.
If it's economically feasible it would be a great selling-point for when these guys are released.
Even as an add-on at higher cost, I'm willing to bet a lot of people would want some clear resin doubles.

Updated my blog post because I had forgotten to post the Atropos907 version. Apologies. Shame on me.

Hey, PF? Your blog has gone AWOL.

PF 200921 Mar 2014 10:29 a.m. PST

Yes, sorry. I changed the address because I had a few comments or pm about some people confused to see 1:56 minis on a blog called "15mmspaceopera".

It's now:

spaceoperaminis.blogspot.fr

And the "stealth" guy can be seen there:
