Hi,

I want to make some home cast scenery bits and would like to get some help with choosing the right materials for it. I would prefer ordering from Europe so the shipping etc. fees would not go too high.

I intend to cast in bulk so a cost effective solution is needed but quality also should be good. Any suggestions of the brands available?

I have had good results with a brand called polycraft. The resin has quite a short pot time but it will pick out small details, great for walls etc.

If you want to try them, let me know and I can add to my order and you pay postage from me to you?

Saying that it will depend on how much liquid you buy, forgot about the Royal Mail clamp down.
