What are peoples experience with casting weapons? Is it usually a two part mold? Especially around the trigger area as that's the most delicate part.
casting 1/6 guns?

I'm about to go through that experience in a couple of weeks when I try to make a mold for this guy from John Wick movie 
I'll post follow ups on how it goes..

When you make your mold, be sure and think about the flow of material. Having the stand alone trigger might not allow resin or what ever to get into it so it may require a small thin section added into the trigger guard connecting to the trigger to help with the flow. It can then be removed after casting. Vents around the outside will also help to get the air out and the resin in.

Good point robbie. That support will also ensure your trigger wont snap off getting your master out the mold if it is delicate resin.

Copies look great! Did you pigment the white resin to black?
I just put my last one out on Ebay
Yes. Only catch was that I couldn't see any bubble trapped inside because liquid was thick black..
