Tig70[TK] Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Posted February 27, 2017 Not to much a little bit of fine sanding on the seam were the mould splits . But getting a bit of trouble with the resin going off quicker than I was hoping . So it's making it differcult to pour the next mould I've done ,need to speak to suppliers 1 Quote

Tig70[TK] Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Posted March 2, 2017 So sweet.

rl180 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Posted March 3, 2017 And you have to work out postage and customs issues. yuk. Quote
Tig70[TK] Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Posted April 3, 2017 managed to finally get all the moulds and have cast a couple and built them now , still not totally happy with them as im still getting a few issues with the casting and have got to sort resins yet . it maybe a mater of different resins for different parts . So I've built one with a fix Bi Pod and one with a full working pod and am hoping the next batch I can resolve the issues . Cheers Andy 5 Quote

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 These look amazing! Any chance you're going to MCM London on the Saturday and can bring one to look at? 1 Quote
Tig70[TK] Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks guys it be a long time to get here your comment certainly make the effort feel worth it all .<br> Chris I should have the next hopefully better moulded version to bring along to London .<br> I'm sure we did our Induction together last May as I believe you just about to apply for Centurion , if I'm remembering right 1 Quote
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah, this will be both of our 1st anniversary troop. Shame it doesn't look like Steve is coming or it would be all 3 of us. I think I applied for Centurion a week or so later. 1 Quote

Bulldog44[TK] Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 This is amazing! The craftsmanship is impeccable. I hope you continue making these. I would surely like to have one. Congrats! 1 Quote
Tig70[TK] Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Posted April 7, 2017 Cheers Brain . Yeah that the intension, I'm hoping to do them complete or as a kit ,as I think lots of people would like the idea of building there own , there's something like 54 parts so for me to build them it's not a quick think to put together <br> I've just received the next batch of resin so will be mouling over the weekend when I get the odd chance , <br> Thanks again for your great comments 3 Quote

Bulldog44[TK] Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Cool. Definitely as Darthcue said, a kit would be great! 2 Quote
wzajets[TK] Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 I have to buy a kit of this. Your work is by far better than amazing here Quote
Tig70[TK] Posted July 10, 2017 Author Report Posted July 10, 2017 Hi Sean been building lots of these as I've been trying lots of different techniques and different resins as I've been getting trouble with certain resins, some have good impact resistance but are trouble to pour in certain parts as they have a high viscous and short pot life . The better resins for pouring tend to be brittle and have a low impact resistance . But it looks like I will have to go with the latter resin which I was trying to avoid as I wanted to try to keep these as robust as possible. but am getting close to getting these ready , cheers for the interest mate Quote
SeanTX Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 Awesome man. Sounds like you are making it into the perfect product. Can't wait for you to get the formula right. Are some pieces the detail resin while others the durable resin? Or is a mix not advantageous. Quote
