Doing the casting thing... Re: Custom Miniatures

Haven't done any casting myself, but there are some fairly vigorous
discussions on the rec.games.miniatures.* lists, particularly misc and
warhammer. One fellow mentioned something he called 'smash' resin
casting.
I don't recall the specifics, though there was something about a web
site.

If you have web access(I'm starting to feel very repetitive on this; I
have
already suggested this to new newsgroup folks asking q's belonging in
FAQ's), you can use one of the search/archive sites to find particular
info
in past posts. I know of http://www.dejanews.com and
http://www.reference.com. The former seems to have the much larger
listing.

By the way,  almost any mention of casting on these groups seems to
immediately require a lesson on copyright protection, even when the
original poster, as you, said they were casting original work. Expect to
have to filter a fair amount of such back-and-forth.

I've been thinking about doing some spaceships; a friend does some
simple
casting, and I figured I could use some styrene sheet and model parts.
I've
done bashing before, but have been thinking about making some as model
masters. However, I figured I'd go the two piece glued together route.

Do you do your own sculpting? You have my deepest admiration there.
