r/ResinCasting

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into for a very long time. I'm developing Scalar Core - a tactical dueling board game centered around this massive collection of 27 artisan dice.

Because the dice dictate the game’s core logic and strategy, standard plastic wouldn't cut it. We wanted something truly special, so we hand-craft all the dice and resin components ourselves (thats me and my girlfriend lol)! Because of how intensely time-consuming the casting process is, we’ve limited this entire first run to just 500 hand-signed copies.

We are launching soon on Gamefound, and if you follow the project page before we go live, we're giving away a special follower bonus: 4 custom d10s (two for the Azure team, two for the Violet team).

When combined with the game's core dice, they actually complete two full, standard 7-piece RPG sets. (And if you aren't extra picky about the numbers - since our core game d10s are numbered 1–10 instead of 0–9 - it technically gives you four complete sets!) It's our way of making sure you can easily use these beautiful artisan dice for D&D or any other tabletop game.

You can check out the preview page here:https://gamefound.com/en/projects/vitucraft/scalar-core

I’d love to know what you guys think of the finish, the custom face designs and the idea in general! I'll be hanging out in the comments if anyone has questions about our casting process or how 27 dice actually clash on a resin hex board!

Hi friends,
I am starting a small custom piece business. I made one of these for all of my teammates’ desks at work and have already gotten 2 requests asking me to make one for their family member. How much do you think I should charge? These are very involved. There aren’t any 2 alike because of course everyone likes different things.

The first one likes Jamaica, lavender, elephants, butterflies, and the Bible verse. The second one likes flamingos, gardening, Paris Tea,coffee, cats, Tybee Island, hummingbirds, the Maya Angelou quote, and the beach.

My fourth warframe fanart piece. This time, paying my homage to the beautiful Atlas Karst Deluxe Skin by Liger Inuzuka.

This was a multi stage project -

I initially made a sketch in Monsterclay how I imagined the figurine, translated this into polymer clay (because I like the medium) and ended up moulding all individual pieces in silicon in order to cast them again in a blue tinted "crystal clear" apoxy resin to achieve the geode/crystally look.

So everything, except the little icosahedron (?) pieces in his armpits (those are 3d-printed), are handsculpted, moulded and casted, puzzled together with alot of hope and apoxy-glue.

For the main stability I managed to get a 2.5mm diameter steel rod through his right leg, up the thigh and through his pelvis piece.

Painted with acrylic colors and added some fabric attachments and BAM, there he is.

The base is mainly a wooden disc with XPS-foam stones and some polymerclay grineer leftovers.
He measures ~ 40cm (15.75inch) in height from the bottom of the base to the top of his head and weighs 1.9kg (~4.2 lbs).

Sadly I cannot add a video WITHIN a photo post, but I also made a litte turntable and edit of the figurine aswell, which I will just link in case somebody likes to see it 😄

I was really tired of the Amazon grade bubble machines that took forever to de-gas the resin. I stepped up and got a vacuum pump used for air-conditioning units and an acrylic chamber and I am kicking myself for not doing this sooner.

Backlight from candles

I've just moved to a smaller property and have found that there simply isn't room for some of my hobbies, resin casting being one of them.

I'd like this stuff to go to a good home where it'll be used so thought I'd give it away here. I can't post it (too heavy) so pickup only from Derby, UK.

There's a pressure pot (converted from a paint pot), a compressor (not super powerful but works fine for resin) and some accessories (mostly molds, inclusions and inks)

If you want it and can pick it up from Derby let me know.

Hey guys. As the title suggests, I have this master that I sculpted using polymer clay baked in the oven. Are there any tips for making sure my resin copy will come out clear/shiny? Whats the best kind of silicone mould mixture to use?

Modeled by me molded by me

I have worked with silicone and resin a bunch. I used to have large tubs of smooth on and it worked great but it's pricy.

I have a missing oh shit handle in my car. It's an import and I have not found a replacement handle. I have the handle on the other side and could make a mold of it but don't want to spend much to do it. It would be a one time use mold, likely. I tried caulk but over more than a week it never fully cured.

What is the cheapest way to make a simple but somewhat detailed mold for making a resin copy of something?
