Hi, I've not seen this posted here yet:

We made this collab video with Goobertown Hobbies explaining the process:





Drop them below if you have technical questions regarding tool design or the injection process.

Thanks!

I saw this video previously, but it was a really great watch. It was great fun to see how our minis get made in hard plastic.

When I first started, it was a lot of questions being asked to many different people.

Sculpting to freeform, modified for draft, then you still had the challenge of finding someone who had a tenths of a different mm on the drill bit to get that sharper detail.

Its truly an amazing process to see

We used to make molds like this all the time, you have to wear rubber gloves when handling them because just the oils from your hands could rust them in hours and you would have to recut the entire thing not to get flashing. Changing colours was a nightmare especially if you were injecting clear resin because one single bead of coloured resin would contaminant a full run.

Not a GW apologist
