Hi,
I'm looking into casting some miniatures that I've scratchbuilt, and looking into resin casting to do it. I've found a few website that offer the materials, but they all seem to be based in the US, does anyone know any UK or even better Danish suppliers? And are there any good guides to be found?
Thanks

Hey,

we use Alumlite.pretty decent stuff,works best with small simple jobs,setting time is fast!!!at times way to fast.we use it for making boxes,ammo crates,oil/fuel drums,tires,etc;(stuff to fill up the back of a truck,CCKW's.Opel's) we've tried to use this stuff on finer detailed items and it sets,way to fast.

I've Switched to Smooth On they have a wider range of "pot Life" times available and are a bit cheaper than Alumilite.
