Ork Glyphs 3

Here is a full set of glyphs cleaned up and roughed up. Few air bubbles filled with GS and some dodgey rivets removed. I won't replace any rivets untill the glyphs are glued in position.

The masters and the cast pieces

And one of them got glued in place on the Weirdboy Battle Tower:

Overall I am quite happy with them. In fairness it won't be till after I do a few more vehicles and I see how much I use them that I am able to say if the mould was worth doing or not.

First couple of sets cast up:

They turned out very well overall, majority of rivets cast fine and only a few air bubbles. Will take a while to get them all cleaned up though.

I got a handful cleaned up just to see how easy it would be to distress them. Thankfully it seems ok, my main worry was that they would be too brittle and would just break but so far no problems.

Tomorrow i'll get more cleaned up (at least one full set) and also add some missing rivets etc. May then get a few glued to vehicles to see what they look like in place.

Been a while since I did any moulds or cast any bits so it is a bit overdue getting something new done.

After the other night when I spent hours cutting and carving ork glyphs I thought it would be very handy if I had a mould of them allowing me to cast glyphs as I needed.

So first job was carving some glyphs out of 1mm styrene. I used 12mm squares as the base so all of them would sit alongside each other ok. For some of them I did a couple of versions.

I kept them all 'clean' - by this I mean I didn't distress them. Instead I will do that to the cast pieces allowing me to get some variety into the castings. I added rivets though I now many will not come out on the castings, any that do save me a bit of time.

All the glyphs glued to a piece of recycled styrene.

I then got the moulding box set up using lego and plasticene.

Lego - Denmarks greatest contribution to the world.

24 hours to cure should see me casting the first set off tomorrow night.

Fingers crossed...
