@@Miscast He's entirely correct and not being too kind! Tis only right that your kindness is appreciated and acknowledged. If it weren't for those who exploit kindness, the phrase 'too kind' wouldn't exist!
One of my favorite things about the channel is that the videos show all the complications and struggles. It's a good learning opportunity and makes everything feel even more relatable. Such an underrated channel
@@bad-people6510 I hope you left that forum and went rogue. Then you can return with your magnificent sprue filled build and go "behold, suck it losers" 😂
Ever since you introduced me to the fact that not all models need to be perfect, I've fell in love with the imperfections of handcast models. You're an inspiration.
If I could grab a drink with only one person from the internet it would be you Trent. You make me inspired and happy with the portion of your live you share with us. Also you are the main reason why Im looking for a house with space for a workshop as a main condition. Cheers mate, always happy to see you create
That sculpt is just wonderful. Full of character and soul. Absolutely favourite of mine out the ones I've seen you create. Reminds me of the old Warhammer rock trolls, which are probably my favourite GW models.
If I recall, spinning the mold is called roto-casting, as in like rotation, but don't quote me on that. I've been dealing with some bubbles and such with my terrain tiles, but it's Necromunda so I've just been slapping on layers of rust and calling it a day
I cannot even put my words into how inspirational and brimming with enthusiasm your videos are, really. You are my favourite creator not because of your technical skills or the video quality (not to say that they are both still fucking perfect and oh my god the VIBES I get from them) but because of your endless creativity and sincerety. The way you're coming up with ideas and the way you seem ashamed of them for a second every time before announcing them and trying them out. The way you care about every little detail that you are creating. This is the true essence of hobby and the way that somebody should dedicate themselves to something they trully love. And every time I watch you, I get filled with these overwhelming emotions of joy of creativity that I could never experience in my life. Thanks to your inspiration, I started playin Mordheim with some friends in our (pretty much dead and unenthusiastic) local club, and trying to recruit some new guys every time I meet them, I started doing more sculpting and converting stuff on almost everything that I do today, and I try to paint more freely, without the limits of what "something should be", focusing more on "what I feel something to be". Sorry for the long text, but I've gobbled these thoughts and emotions for way too long, ever since you started the Carnival of Chaos army a few years back. Thank your for your videos and your endless joy and creativity, they really mean a lot to some folks like me
Trent, this is an amazing development for indy mini making…I think you carry the torch further. You know what might work in place of having to swing the mold outside is buying an old medical centrifuge and attaching the mold to the spin plate. You could make a cheap clear acrylic enclosure to watch the mold as it spins and ensure its not leaking resin. Then as you test this method (and it works) you develop your own model mold centrifuge made to your specifications. And boom…The Miscaster is born
Another dose of Trent experimenting with stuff and bringing us all along for the ride. Exactly what we signed up for. I love when you do stuff like this and just document the process, mistakes and all, it makes the whole hobby feel so much more accessible to me. Plus I kind of like making mistakes in my own hobby stuff, sometimes you end up with something better than if you just got it right the first time.
Trent, the one thing I am not a fan of is your paint schemes; HOWEVER, your channel is by far, one of the best out there on the tabletop hobby. Your paint scheme works for you, and that's awesome. I have watched a lot of your videos now; your modeling, your custom MODEL CASTING, various projects, and even your entertaining filming. You have truly inspired me to pursue my creativity more. Whether its building, kitbashing, or even making a model from $1 kids toys. You are truly one of the best. A true artist. Thank you for another great video, Sir.
Who needs a centrifuge when you are the centrifuge! Loving the engunuity as always mate; I appreciate you trying to achieve the best results with the cheapest and passing along the knowledge. What a trip when the most basic/ cheapest turns out better!
you recently gave me the kick in the pants I needed to start another creative thingy, first it was painting minis, now it's making plaster terrain and building my own campaign setting. I've written 6k words in the past two days. Thanks Miscast!
I have zero to do with the stuff you make. I'm into rping but we don't do minis or anything. But I adore your chaotic optimistic just do it approach. It shows a real passion
I need " I'm gonna regret not planning this later" on a shirt the sprue terrain looks cool. Also as soon as I saw you attaching the rope I was locked in! I thought that would work the first time : )
Great video Trent! Great to see the DIY ethos being spread. It think why the spin casting worked on your demon mini, and not so much with the troll, is due to the shapes. The outward forces would be great for shoving the resin from the plinth through and old mates skinny legs. No so much with the troll, as it is forcing any trapped air back into the sprue at the bottom. If you where to design a mould specifically for spin mould, try putting the feeder/riser on top of the mini and little vents out the bottom 😊
I remember going through all of this myself with my own miniatures, and honestly I went through all those stages as well. Though in my case, watching a lot of a youtuber named Robert Tolone. I've actually gotten it to where all I've needed was the 'base' of the sprue and then just eyeballing where the vents need to go and cutting them out in the silicone directly. But... nothing beats a pressure pot. Seriously its basically magic at just making some of the 'worst' bubble filled models into crispy clean figures. It also creates considerably more flash but its so whispy an thin you brush it off with your fingers. Still, love how those castings turned out.
so close to finishing my own workshop space and I'm beyond excited to have permissable chaos at my fingertips. great sculpts, fun casting journey and thanks always for the inspiration in finding joy
Thank you for your insights on the eldritch lorecast panel. It is interesting to see how much struggle lies behind all of your awesome videos. Thank you very much for your work.
great video! Adding air vents where you find bubbles is right way to do it. You should try vibrating the mold as soon as you pour the resin, so more bubbles rise up
Fixing minor issues with that tiny copper pipe was pretty clever. I think this part of the process could be refined using syringe needles. They come in various diameters and have this angled and sharpened tips so you could drill quite clean channels through the silicone I think. Maybe I should give casting another try myself 😅 Thanks for the inspiration, as alsways!
This video brought my nostalgia heart so much joy man, seeing these original and goofy sculpts takes me back to the whimsical side of warhammer when the Eavy metal team always had cool conversions or custom jobs.
as ever Trent, its such a delight watching the optimism you approach Process with. youre a light. leave the marks! used to be when id make a piece of furniture, id worry about people seeing the little imperfections. now, whenever im absently touching the woodwork in my house, thats what my fingers automatically look for. and i love it in stuff other people make too, cuz its proof that a creative human made it (instead of a robot).
...as usual Trent provides inspiration, stealable ideas and great entertainment...one can only hope that the algorithm will eventually hook us all up with comments of bewilderment over footage from Trents neighbours security cams ...(that guy in the mask is in his garden swinging stuff around his head again Sharon).....thank you Trent...you are awesome....
That troll is so cool! It would look awesome in my Mork Borg game. Love the ideas. My daughter got some Elmer's squishies and the molds are actually really good and I was looking at ideas on how to turn them into actual miniatures that can be painted.
The sound of you ripping out the sprue from the silicone is absolutely horrifying. The squishy sucking noises from the mould and the cracking from the sprue 😰 Great video as always though! I would have never guessed spinning a mould like this would actually work. I still have an old table saw motor lying around, and you gave me the idea to maybe make a spinning machine.
This is a really good idea! I’ve always considered getting into miniature or dice making/casting, but because of the equipment needed I’ve never really seriously considered it. Good job!
Glad the spin actually worked eventually! Was thinking about maybe fully sealing the mould and trying (like crafsman recently) a roto-cast method... but without the equipment that's you flipping it around in your hands like an interpretive dance for however long 👀
Every time I see your videos I think, I need to follow his example and give TH-cam a shot myself without talking myself out of it and do something I enjoy instead of being miserable working for someone else
Great video. And very character full sculpt. Glad i found your channel, so much gold here! Tried something similar many years ago, with a very slow curing resin. Had success with adding holding vibrator to the mold.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this video! It’s already shown me some more ways I can mess around with my own things I want to make moulds of. 😁 Love, love, absolutely Love making the sprews have terrain bits in them! Such a simple yet genius idea🧐
Brilliant. I used to do a lot of casting, but only open faced sort of molds. I see I really need to become more bold and try something like this. Cheers!
Another awesome video dude! True that priming hides some of the flaws on a cast but when painting up my own sculpts I've found a wash will bring them out 😉
Insanely cool video! Firstly, the reusable terrain with soy-sauce fish? exquisite. Secondly, getting a solution, but diving back into modifications to it, getting something better? Perfection. Probably other people have posted this, but for the spinning technique, could you make a cheap centrifuge? I feel like a little motor + turntable (with secure points for the mold) would be perfect for this! Trent, you are a madlad and a legend, South Australia is getting value for money!
I've been working on my own spin casting setup for resin for essentially this same reason. Once I have it finished, I will probably post the instructions, BoM, and STLs somewhere for free.
I'd love to see more on this - really enjoy your videos but something about making your own miniatures and replicating them (in various ways) is really appealing. This made me think of your video using a 3d scanner a while back; its all fascinating stuff.
Every other hobby TH-camr: “MAKING THE NEWEST SOULLESS MODEL FROM GW LOOK REALLY PRETTY” Trent, casually: “Make something crazy and here’s how to make 100 of them. Maybe. Idk, let’s find out together.”
Damn man, i saw your first video on the big frog guy miniature I ended making coffee to stopping To just hear a video damn dude Thats how i felt about these two races in dragonborn and warforge Now your giving me a reason to just make whatever or closer to what I've been asking for. Your now the face of post malone if he enjoys miniatures too but garsh darn you are so cool Now im about to listen to chillhop full throttle while remodeling this dragon
Trent, thinking about similar problem...so if you have a pushbike maybe it can be rigged as a spin cast...plastic drink bottles make easy mold boxes to fit between the spokes and forks.
about the spinning around method i've been thinking about building a machine that do it for you, like a bike wheel with some support to put the mold outside the frame and some chain to give it speed so you have the same work with less effort and considerably cheap (compared to a vacuum chamber)
Wee thing I learnt about at Kamping Kitbash, put bicarb in a dropper bottle. Comes out super smoothly and allows for much more precise application and is super handy in a wee bottle. Just thinking about how much you use it!
Hey Trent, you most likely already know of this technique but... 2 part molds may be the way to go. I live in Brazil and we (most of us) have no access to vaccum chambers, pressure pots and not even these fancy silicones and resins. We have to make do with some industrial stuff, cristal resins and so. The only way I get some decent casts is with 2 part molds. It is very similar to what you did there, but instead of making the vertical box, you make a bed of plastiline and work it to the borders of the mini (carefully), you can inbed some wires to get the air holes, and make big dents to register the 2 sides together. You then build the box around it to the appropriate height. You can then pour the silicone filling the box. When the silicone sets, you flip the mold, remove the plastiline, brush some vaseline to prevent the two parts to sticking together and pour the silicone for the second part. It is a more time consuming process, but the molds are pristine and you get to access every corner of the mold to brush the resin (if needed). Anyway, I love your attitude of getting things done. Cheers!
I've never considered the need for a 2 part mold until now that you've said that is a solution to a material access problem. These fancy silicones are certainly a luxury! I will give it a go again, I have made a couple in the past, and they are certainly more time consuming but a good skill to know for reasons you're describing. I'll make a video at some point, thankyou!
The terrain sprue seems like it might use as much resin as the mini. I was thinking you could sculpt the actual sprue to look like branches or a tree and use a little less resin and give the troll a little more fantasy vibe. You can also cut up the branches to build different looking trees.
11:58 - That sound is a flashback to the dentists office, please replace it with birds chirping or something later ;) This video couldn’t have come at a better time :) I’ve just started my first ever attempt at sculpting «The Slightly Unwashed One» with Fimo-clay, WorkInProgress in my Community Tab, and used a gift card I won to buy a small silicon mold making kit and a small pack of casting resin from my local hobby chain just to see if I can do this - exciting times ahead and thanks for another great video keeping the flame burning :)
@@Miscast Thanks ;) Really looking forward to finishing the sculpt and try the mold making and casting orocess, been wanting to try this stuff since I was a little kid reading GoreZone magazine back in the day, and finally found the time and space for it :)
Miscast is so underrated on TH-cam, I wish people could see this man’s relatable lifestyle and his immeasurable talent for miniatures.

Thankyou! that means a lot!
cutting a silicon mould feels like doing an alien autopsy. so cool
The usable sprue idea is outstanding, a game changer for scratch building 👏👏👏
Absolutely! Praise Curtis!
Agreed. Sprues use up so much material. You might as well get something useful out of them.
@Bluecho4 I'm now looking at sprues and thinking "can I make them pipes, so they could have a use in terrain/scratch building?"
I suggested this in a modeling forum some months ago and I was derided for it.
@@bad-people6510 I hope you left that forum and went rogue. Then you can return with your magnificent sprue filled build and go "behold, suck it losers" 😂

Can't argue with the results though

great video! Adding air vents where you find bubbles is right way to do it. You should try vibrating the mold as soon as you pour the resin, so more bubbles rise up
Fixing minor issues with that tiny copper pipe was pretty clever.
I think this part of the process could be refined using syringe needles. They come in various diameters and have this angled and sharpened tips so you could drill quite clean channels through the silicone I think. Maybe I should give casting another try myself 😅

The terrain sprue seems like it might use as much resin as the mini. I was thinking you could sculpt the actual sprue to look like branches or a tree and use a little less resin and give the troll a little more fantasy vibe. You can also cut up the branches to build different looking trees.
Just out here, living up to your handle haha These look so bloody sick!!
I don't even know when I subscribed to your Chanel. But I made a great decision 😂👍
That looks so fun!
Well done!
Really awesome vid! I’m wanting to cast up a big mini and I think I might try out this technique
Thank you for the mention btw!!
Awesome. I don't know if this would work, but some kind of vibrating table may remove the bubbles
man seeing the superglue drip directly to your fingers in 1:47 hurts

Thanks for sharing such cool ideas and creative energy 👍
Thankyou mate! Legendary last build!
11:58 - That sound is a flashback to the dentists office, please replace it with birds chirping or something later ;) This video couldn’t have come at a better time :) I’ve just started my first ever attempt at sculpting «The Slightly Unwashed One» with Fimo-clay, WorkInProgress in my Community Tab, and used a gift card I won to buy a small silicon mold making kit and a small pack of casting resin from my local hobby chain just to see if I can do this - exciting times ahead and thanks for another great video keeping the flame burning :)
Honestly Ive had this thought too, I'm sorry hahah. Amazing, good luck!
@@Miscast Thanks ;) Really looking forward to finishing the sculpt and try the mold making and casting orocess, been wanting to try this stuff since I was a little kid reading GoreZone magazine back in the day, and finally found the time and space for it :)
Still an incredible job!
