@hopper1999 I’ve access to both resin and PLA printers, and while resin has a couple of extra steps compared to PLA, I wouldn’t consider it painful. I’ve come to appreciate resin’s ability to show detail even in very small scale. For me its worth the extra steps to clean and cure, for those results. What’s great is there are so many free units available, with some simple editing/converting you can quickly build cool armies.
As for casting, while I haven’t casted any A&A parts yet (still building my unit library), I have casted a lot of 3.75 action figure parts. I’ve gotten best results using a syringe and pressure pot. (I converted a old paint pressure tank). You inject your mold, and then put it under pressure, I’d do around 30psi, to help the resin into the thinner parts of the mold and prevent bubbles. It also helps, when making your mold to put it under pressure as well. I’ve found it helps prevents bubbles in the silicone and between the silicone and the part being cast.
I plan on using casting to duplicate units I already have, that I can’t find stl files for.
My Axis and Allies Global 1940 game table

Ever since i got into Axis and Allies back in 2015, me and my dad had to play global 1940 on the floor, it wasn’t very fun knocking over the pieces and compartments because we would constantly have to clean up messes.
Then one day i found Young Grass Hoppers Channel and he had a tutorial of the game table. so me and my parents got to work on building a game table. A nd here is the finished product!
Thank you young grasshopper for helping me create this wonderful game table!
