Well As I completed my Space Hulk squads, I decided to update my web site and realised how much I missed doing this.

I think I shown this before, but if you want to read briefly how I created the wings, then I updated my web site

that's pretty damn amazing.

You know what you should do? Learn how to make molds (either resin or silicone). That way, you can make 1 awesome thing, then make a mold and make many awesome things!

Thanks. Unfortunately that's an investment I cant afford, nor the time to spare :(

Could just green stuff press mould them. Also setting up low end resin/white metal casting (assuming no vacuum/pressure gear) is probably cheaper than you think.

no worries. I just figured that the time involved in learning to press mold (materials cost me ~$40 perhaps) would be less than the time it would take you to do the number of multiples you need. Then again, if you're only doing a couple it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Still neat though :)
