Hi, just wanted to share with you my way of building containers for resin water on bases.
You’ll need sharp knife and transparent hard plastic, I used foil for making stencils – it’s thin and stiff. Enough durable to stand against resin pressure.
I cut walls for my container (remember that wall endings must be 90° degree to make it work well. So be carefull and cut precisely. Toothpick is great to apply maskol to walls, endings was glues outside using cyanoacrylic glue.
Here is how look finished container. Be careful to not leave any holes in connections because resin will leak and you’ll have a lot of mess to clean up.
I mixed Crystalline 940 with hardener and mixed it well.
To add a bit of dirt I put 2 drops of Vallejo Sepia Ink. Don’t add too much because resin don’t like water products and can be rubbery when dry.
I removed all bubbles in vacuum chamber.
Poured resin have to leave about 24-48h depending on which one you use.
Removed walls show perfect edges and super smooth walls.
I cut resin excess with sharp hobby knife.
Nice tutorial thanks.
I have notice that you base have your logo. Is it a 3D impression base ?
It’s 3d printed base and later I made a resin casted copies.
Thanks for sharing very cool tutorial!
You’re welcome :)
Nice tutorial, I wondered how people did so sharp of cast for the water effects. You mentioned a vacuum chamber, is that something you built for this, not something one typically has for painting :-)
The bases look fantastic too!
I have one from eBay :)
Awesome tutorial, very clear and concise. Thank you! (:
great tips, got any more :-) I’m definitely going to do this for my Nurgle army, love the 3D printed base too, i’m gonna pinch this technique from you aswell ;-)
Where do you print your base or do you own have a 3d printer? :D
I am looking for a long time to forestry stuff like your on your Dyrad Miniature Base.
However not the normal foliage, I mean these big leaves. Unfortunately, I haven´t found a shop where i can but it. Do you have tips?
Hi, I’ve printed it somewhere in France via 3Dhubs.com
What the heck is Mascol? never seen that stuff before…
I am about to attempt my first, for a Nagash base, obviously will be doing a fair few trials first on small samples.
Using a polyester resin so i can do it deep enough (approx 3″ cubed when done)
