This next video shows you how to fix buildings full of air bubbles and blobs of resin from bad casting jobs:

Nice article. I learned about Microform Models for the first time thanks to your video. Thanks!

As for the cast-on balls, it's in the mold. When making the mold, the material is poured too quickly and the viscosity of the liquid mold making material traps air bubbles. When I make molds for liquid plastic (not the usual resin) is resistant to allowing those air bubbles to form. Every casting from that mold will have the same problem at the same place.

I really paid attention to the making of the balcony. I have a few buildings that I have wanted to add them to. I also an playing around with Atlas' Hairpin Fence in N scale for wrought iron railings in front of windows. (Atlas item #2850). My local hobby shop initially told me Atlas no longer made it. I had to bring in 2 boxes of them I found easily on-line. They now have a box on the shelf! Easy to cut the thin plastic pieces to fit.

Again, I enjoyed the episode very much. Thanks.
