Why nervous? We've done this sort of jazz plenty of times.

Let's see... it will probably print tomorrow, and arrive on my doorstep next week. Then another week to do some resin prototypes and refine the design, if necessary. Then 1 + 1d3 weeks for the bronze, plus a week transit to Tom at Exodus Wars. He'll have to address how long it will take his metal caster to do the stuff with the thing.

Usual guide is a month for our caster to find time amongst casting up legion upon legion of Edenites to get them out and in stock for us :D/

Sorry, slow progress. Turns out the single-piece design is hard to pour with gravity-fed resin, so I'm having a hard time getting samples for the guys.

Had some advice from a FW chap on getting resin into stubborn moulds without using a pressure chamber; Have you tried sprinkling a very light dusting of talcum powder into the mould?

Apparently it helps break surface tension. I've not tried it myself, but if it's good enough for Will Hayes...
