Hey Subtle, thanks for jumping over! I'm so happy you did. As I said before; amazing stuff, in particular that smaller stuff, the smoke launcher and ammo drums, the small amount of plasticard stuff I've done has shown me how bloody hard it is to get things like that as clean as you have.

Looking forward to seeing how that Storm Raven works out as well. Quick question. With square magnets, how do you make the holes?

Awesome tut there, I've never thought about vac forming before. Could this be used for shoulder pads or icons?

Hmm interesting, I was just thinking it might be an easy alternative to press moulding for DIY chapter symbols and the like.

That's a genius idea about the razor saw, I will look into making one. With the holes do you just have a mark on the drill bit so you know how far to drill the hole?

Hmm that's a good point about the layering as rivet's will generally be on a trim or a piece of armour that's "bolted" to the main body. Cheers for reminding me of that!

Very interesting to see your trails and tribulations around casting, it's something that's not touched on openly too much by the community in general for obvious reasons. Are you keeping the miss-casts for personal use or have you just binned them?

Thanks for putting up something like this (as a cheeky side note would you consider putting it in the tutorials section). As I've said before it's something that's not commonly shown on forums such as ours due to fear of GW legal. One question with the lego mould box, would it possibly be worth having some pre built and glued lego mould boxes sitting there ready to go? Would that speed the process up or do you need the lego blocks to be able to be individually removed?

Also is there any hard and fast rule you use for judging how big the vents need to be?

That's made just out paper and plastic? Bloody hell! Have you thought about maybe 3d printing it or something?

I have been meaning to get hold of that tentacle maker for pipes so will be interested to see your thoughts on it.
