I am painting my own Tau at this very moment and it was interesting to see some of these processes as I think about how to make my bases more interesting and how I could have some fun with future models by leaving behind more traditional paintjobs for something like this. Keep up the good work!
One of the best parts of doing this channel is finally getting to make and share some of the stuff on my long project list, it’s great! Maybe I should work out how to do polls of which project people think will be the funniest to try…
Ah, recasting - it would be great, but the few times I’ve tried to cast resin it’s a pain to make a decent mould, and really hard to get all the bubbles and haze and cleanup marks out of clear resin. I bet it would look really good, but I don’t think I have the skills. I’d probably go for a couple of parts of it being clear and paint a transition effect where they meet the normal plastic , might be easier.

That’s great, glad I could help! I can’t guarantee this will work at all, but it might give some inspiration with a little luck!
I’m so excited to see you doing this one! I remember you talking about this as an idea… a while ago. Time isn’t real.

This will be interesting to see how it turns out! Good luck
Thanks! Fingers crossed, because I have no idea how it’s going to go. Quite possibly a glorious disaster 🤣
Curious ... your thoughts of recasting that Tau Ghost Suit with completely transparent epoxy?
