I have a little hiccup that is costing me ALOT of time and extra resources. It seems that while I was able to perfect some molds, others are opposing the laws of physics. ALL the peg holes in the thighs and in the chest pieces have to be filled in and drilled back out manually. The holes DID NOT shrink and in fact in 2 cases the holes got bigger. WTF??? SO many variables I cant control. Its another reason I have gone to using 5mm Acrylic rod wherever I can so I have some standard for 5mm interchangeability.
So I have to waste a small amount of resin for a few drops to fill a hole. You can only go so small on the amounts to be mixed.
I am doing my best to make these figures as interchangeable as possible. It seems like every time I put out a figure its just a hair better than the last one as better ways of doing things become apparent. Every time I think...that's it...that's as good as I can make it...something else makes itself known that makes it worth my while to incorporate into the building process.
So where am I at this point??? At least 3 weeks away. I have 15 figures left to fit and assemble and then they all have to be detailed.
This sure is doing wonders for my self discipline. :-)
