Most of you who read this are already familiar with Hirst Arts. If you are not- they sell molds for plaster-casting construction sets of buildings and terrain for use with miniature gaming.
I've been eye-balling this stuff a good long while not wanting to take the plunge until I felt I had some serious modeling experience under my belt. I put this simple Ruin together with the blocks I got (and cast myself)at the Hirst Art's Seminar I participated in at Adepticon this year. I like the final results as the stuff paints up quite well. It's finally time to pick up some molds so I'm going to borrow a few to get some ideas on what direction of a project I want to build, With long holiday weekend coming up, I should be able to get a few days in to mess around. (I should mention the statue and the tree stumps in the rear are Armorcast products) In an effort to make the blog more informative- once I decide what to build, I will try to document the procedure for a future article.

I'll bring the molds I have with me to the store today. You can check em out. Do you want to box of (Excalibur) super hard dental plaster I have as well?
Sure!!, I have some but it be great to try two different kinds...
Thanks Bill
has anyone else noticed that the hirstarts website has been down for like 8 months or more?
Am wanting to find a supplier of the molds so I can do some terrain stuff. (and am certainly not wanting to pay for the pre-cast hirstarts blocks that some people are selling.
You must have something with your ISP or browser blocking the Hirst site..I am on it all the time recently and its up and working, try the link on my front page if it doesn't work something on your end is preventing you from accessing it!, good luck!
