My very first resin cast Luke Macro piece...Im addicted!

Hi all,

I built a version of the mystery side box from Lukes macrobinoclurs and I have 2 macros in the works so I needed to learn to do this.
I ordered up the Alumilite resin casting kit based on some member recommendations. Since this was my first cast I was very nervous.

A few things that really helped me was to microwave my mold for 1 minute and use babypowder in the mold to ease flow. These were my first casts ever and I cant find any bubbles. So much fun!!!

Styrene build primered and filled.

Looks great! Isn't pouring resin fun?

I am hooked. I find myself looking for things to cast up all the time now.
