Infinity Terrain Vendor Booth

Unfortunately I don't have any WIP shots of this, as I didn't know we actually had a blog until fairly recently. The base of this piece is a 1'x1' square of MDF board. The step is made from foam board edged in plasticard strips. The booth itself is a foam board skeleton edged in plasticard. The most time-consuming part by far were the hexagonal paving stones. They were made by gluing a hex gridded paper to cardstock and cutting them out with a pair of scissors. Monotonous, but worth it. Nothing says 'It's the future.' like hexagonal paving stones.

This piece has since been primered grey and is awaiting its turn at the airbrush station. I plan on printing out an awning on regular printer paper, coating it with watered down PVA and draping it over the struts.

Malifaux Train Station

First we started with a 3x3 sheet of pink foam, adding two platforms on either side and a divider in the middle also with pink foam. We then covered the platforms and divider with a cobblestone mat that was purchased from Michael's the mat was first affixed with wood glue but the back of the mat was too glossy and pealed up, so we decided liquid nails would be much better. And it was.

Lifesize Genestealer

Been working a lot and haven't had much time to sit and add some stuff on here. We had a hurricane run through there and the store was closed Monday and Tuesday giving me no excuse to not post. At the store we have an entire wall devoted to Games Workshop products, mostly Warhammer 40k, so we have been working on some details to make the wall feel more in that world. We decided to build a life size genestealer popping out of the ceiling and here is the build!

Started this build with a few sheets of pink foam and a dream! Carved out some basic shapes.

Riddler Question Mark Vector



Had a bunch of people asking for measurements on my replica. Well sadly, I just doodled right on the wood and built is as I went. But, all is well! I have made a vector image which can be scaled to ANY size and used to make said question mark. Just shoot me an e-mail at Kastkreations@gmail.com and the file is yours!

1st Place Malifaux Trophy!

So we had a tournament for Malifaux yesterday so I had to make a trophy for the first place winner. I took a cool looking rock that I found laying about and made a simple two part mold of it. Then cast it in resin, then again in clear resin.

Malifaux Scrap/Burrow Counters

For my army I have a few guys (most of them) that when they are destroyed they drop what are called scrap counters. One of the big guys I play known as the Soul Stone Miner drops two of these counters. Also the miner has the ability to burrow under ground and move across the field without being able to be targeted. So I decided to make some cool counters to use during the game to represent these.
What I did was take a fully intact model, and cut it up into a bunch of different pieces. Ending in 6 different counters to use during game play. Then added some paint and ended up with these guys.

Resin Steampunk Bases

After my last post I had some people e-mailing me asking about the bases my Malifaux figures were standing on and where they could get a hold of such bases. Well I was going to wait till I got the dyes I wanted to tint the resin but people want what they want. I made those bases, using a bunch of watch parts, some silicon, and two part resin. Cast the parts in resin, then cut the center out of a base and attached the edge around the resin watch parts. After making about 5 or so different styles I made a silicon mold of all five, a nice sheet of steampunk bases. These bases will be available for purchase soon on the blog store.
