I've managed to get new casts which paint up well. Switched to a different resin with a longer pot life to give me more time to work. It must have been the resin that was the problem as I used the same molds for the new casts. Going to start storing the resin in a sealed container to minimise...

The resin is new, I only got it last week. I make sure to rotate the bottles a few times to ensure each part is mixed together before weighing out each part. Unfortunatly that setup is still too big, got too much stuff as it is. The cat badge is based on the design on a poster I have, the dog...

Unfortunately I don't have the space for a degasser as I like in a small studio flat. Would measuring it out and leaving the unmixed parts for an hour help?

I've not had much luck with any new casts. I've tried powder in the mold as well as warming the mold with little success. I'm debating whether a slow cure resin will work better as well as a way to vibrate the mold once the resin is in to release any micro bubbles from the surface of the mold.

It is a one part mold so I'll try the warming and dusting as I actually have some stuff in I can use. I'll give an update as to whether I can get it to work though I did search for info and it says it helps break up small bubbles on the surface and that warming should help with thermal shock. I...

I've washed the cast with soapy water and there was no difference. I'm leaning to the option that it is bubbles under the surface as the dimples in the paint are in the same place even after stripping and cleaning the cast. I've just put some filler on one of the problem casts and will sand when...

For some reason I am having a lot of issues with painting resin. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't and I can't work out what the problem is. I get these little spots in the paint for some reason. I've stripped the paint off and resprayed it with a different primer resulting in the same...

I can't remember what year it was but one year me and my brothers got a large box of Construx. I think it was a generic set rather than one which had a theme as I don't remember any instructions to follow. I remember spending ages building things with it, found it more fun than Lego. One thing I...

I would rather think that it looked like the 10th Doctor sonic because the Doctor knew that when River would be using it that she would be interacting with the 10th Doctor rather than a later Doctor. With it being the first time he met her he wouldn't have recognised any later designs so it was...

I'm the one who made the template for the foam shield on Rangerboard. I also made templates for each individual piece which can be printed full size. If you want a copy just send me a pm. Edit: Just worked out how to attach the file here.

Mine arrived yesterday and I love it. The teeth on mine fit together very well, no complaints about that. I darkened up the crackle on mine as well, came out quite well. To darken mine first I gave the plastic body a coat of Tamiya X-19 Smoke and left it to dry. Afterwards I sanded the body with...

I wouldn't blame them if that did happen. They have worked very hard to make a very accurate product which actually works as a remote. It didn't have to be done but they did it. If we have to wait a bit longer to get it I say just wait, we will get it in hand. For me the added wait is just...

I'd have thought that they would have been a bit more organised, especially since it is licenced by the BBC. Still, as long as it is here before the 50th special next month I'm not too worried.

I emailed the BBC Store UK today since their last email said 3-5 days but there was no change in order status. Got this reply Makes me wonder if they are holding onto their stock despite having some on hand. Bit disappointed but it's nothing to do with TheWandCompany, just the BBC Store...

I got this from the BBC Shop yesterday
