Ahoy mates!

Originally published at ModelGeek, here's a great SBS study on mold making and resin casting from Steve Sherman (BowJunkie35), that will aid any modeler who is wishing to delve into this side of our hobby!

A very thorough explanation on how to do it!
I liked it and especially the final paragraph - respect and copyright issues are always very important and Steve remembered them!
Congratulations Steve - a great feature!
Thanks for sharing it Mark!

Wow Steve,
I've read a few 'how-to' s about casting resin but yours is so clear and easy to understand.

Excellently written and presented. It just cuts through all the hype and techno-speak, so even I understand.

Makes me want to rush out and buy the stuff and start casting straight away.

Many thanks for all the effort you must have put in. Appreciated.

Cheers
Peter
