Waiting paitenty here for the signal from the warp to express my interest in a large number of Defilers to reinforce my Iron warriors.
Cheers

i think they'll be pretty durable if they're based. i would be less worried than about my F.W. tau thats for sure.

Molds: 5 of 14 halves poured
Proofed: 0 of 7 molds
In routine casting: 0 of 7 molds (0 of 8 parts)
I put the leg sets in a single mold, which may reduce casting effort.
(Continued one of my resurrection projects)

Molds: 8 of 10 halves poured
Proofed: 2 of 5 molds
In routine casting: 2 of 5 molds (2 of 8 parts)
Current mold breakdown is like this:
1 mold for body part A
1 mold for body part B
1 mold for weapons
1 mold for legs
1 mold for claws
The claw mold, if successful, will be among the most challenging I have ever done.

Sorry. The general plan is to proof the existing molds and see how they work under normal conditions. That will guide me in making a second set of molds, which will improve output.
In general, I usually only make 1 set of molds, limiting throughput to 1 per day, assuming no air bubbles or mishaps.
There probably won't be any progress made until Thursday night. I take care of Bella on Tuesday and Wednesday.
