I'm thinking of revisiting some of my old 40k miniatures and doing a decent paint job on them. However I would like to recast some pieces in clear (or at least semi transparent) plastic but I have no idea of the best way to go about it. Does it seem feasible and if so, how would you recommend doing it? Cheers. P.S. I know it's not to do with computers but it is modding.
expoxies or resins would be the best way for smaller figures http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/category.php?bid=32& http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/category.php?bid=33& those two links are what you would use.
i've also heard of recasting done with aluminum, in sand molds- but only for bigger pieces like the juggernaughts. my god theyre awesome stompy stomp stomp, 5 on a map lays waste to everything
