Hack Slash & Fill - converting F&IW figures (1 Viewer)

[Big Miller Bro]

I know that some people like to convert their own poses
or make unique figures not represented by available commercial
lines. I am less sure about how many people would be interested in 'fixer upper' figures.

See when I do my resin casts the first 5-10 castings are very
much trial and error (not to mention the Murpheys Law castings
where if anything could go wrong it will).


After I do my casting I sort the figures into grades or 'classes'- there is always a good
number of miscasts on the first day of casting as I decide where to vent ...

My question would be- would anyone be interested in purchasing castings that are not 'grade A'. I tend to be a bit miserly myself so I tend to see filling air bubbles as little effort but when people are purchasing something they tend to like as little hassle as possible. Obviously it would appeal more to someone who might have conversion ideas in mind anyway- and would need to be at a reduced cost compared to a complete and unflawed casting.

Thoughts?

Heck if the price is right I can deal with a hole but not a major loss of detail. I am an ACW guy are you planning on anything in this range? I am just starting to get into the cut and hack aspect of the hobby.

Yup- in fact I promised a friend some Union officers by summer so doing some ACW is a must

I would be interested in the minor flawed castings from this period. You can email me direct if you have some idea of cost and if quantity makes any difference. Thanks very much.

Hi,
I would be potential interested in purchasing Class B castings as long as they are in resin. Where do you sell your products?
Thanks,
Benjamin
