I have cast resin into my 2nd set of shrinking molds and pulled some nice minis from them. I used Amazing Casting Resin and it worked well. There is no smell and you can demold in minutes.

The models shrunk a bit more but not as much as I would have liked. I put the minis together by cutting and adding joints. I tried to make them as dramatic as possible with the grasshopper robot Kickback being the most dramatic.

I used hands from Warhammer 40k Space Marines and other kit bashing parts to add details. I also had to make all the bot’s backs out of green stuff as I had originally cast them prone to make it easier to mold them the first time.

Moving on I made up some bases with crashed cars to show that the Insecticons are giant robots even though they are smaller than most other Transformers . I then painted them with a base coat of black. I just need to paint them now in their signature colours.

Cheers Mike.

These look great Mike, may have to look into this shrink procedure more as it could prove very useful

Very cool, Mike. I can’t wait to see these painted up in the iconic purple of the Insecticons. I have a feeling that Bombshell might end up being my favourite, just because that’s the one I liked best as a kid.
