I do. I'll have a look through the archives and see if anything is Miscasty enough!

Trent, to his model alone in his studio: “Why are you like this?!” Me, eating Doritos on my couch: “I’m sorry Miscast, I don’t know either.”

[@SugarCandyMiniatures]

Love the "i wont get distracted" cut to a full squad of goblins made because of distraction. These are such adorable lil guys!

[@vedranlucev1837]

"We have removed everything but your tools from the workshop so you won't get distracted, and finish the darn project." "You fools, I am my own distraction!" *finishes every other project instead, starts a dozen more*

[@SugarCandyMiniatures]

@vedranlucev1837 I feel like there's no room in which Trent can't find a way to do a project in. Especially if it's to avoid another project that was due months ago

[@AcuteGoblinitis]

Goblins are such a good distraction though, they're my weakness too. Making 40k ork meganobz? Here's a full squad of gretchins! What's that, sculpting ogors? Watch it, a warband of swamp gobbos is coming for you!

[@jacobbalensiefer3846]

I really like the “so this is what I got done this week” format of the recent videos. Really inspiring to see so much cool stuff coming from the workshop.

[@krl10101]

My friends and I had issues once with casting some WW2 tanks. Found out some resins were temperature sensitive when enough mass was present (internal mass set as expected but the outer surface cooled off too quickly to set properly). Luckily, one of us knew about this so we only wasted two castings before the stove was recruited. Looking forward to your next video as always.

[@euansmith3699]

Curtis's sculpts are so idiosyncratic and fun; a perfect match for Trent's work.

[@tobiasbooth9740]

The classic scenario of knowing you have one particular miniature and going through literally hundreds of miniatures because you know you have it in there somewhere. I am familiar with that.

@@Miscast To riff on Kill Six Billion Demons: "He did not seek the right bit, and so found it with little effort."

[@JamesHolloway]

Those Boglander arms are super useful. Interestingly, to your point about different casting materials (and you probably already know this, but maybe the audience don't), the arms for the grot conversions are from the Ramshackle Games Boglanders set, and they are actually cast in a different resin from the bodies! The bodies are single pieces and need to be durable and low-cost, while the arms are thin and delicate and need to be detailed and flexible, so Curtis cast them in different resins. I'm sure that's the case for a lot of models, but it was the first time I'd seen it, or at least noticed it. Also, I love the necrollusk boar and the Willie cart. Just amazing. And the trukk concepts! And and and ...

[@Varvasaur]

5:00 - yes! Yes it is!

[@jonathanestremera5949]

You give me such creative boosts its actually unreal. Your vlogs makes me want to go out and create.

[@capnskustomworks]

Those are awesome!!! Perhaps your mold was off-gassing something? I have had one mold that made sticky casts the first few batches, then after letting it sit for months it cast fine, and I was guessing that might have been why, but just a guess. (The sticky casts took a little over a year hidden in a cabinet to cure hard!) I’m glad the baking fixed yours!!! If I ever have that happen again I’ll have to try that.

[@Miscast]

Good thought... I bet you're right, maybe heat speeds up the offgassing idk.

[@chrisheli1]

I don't play Warhammer, I don't build models, don't paint Miniatures, and I barely even play table top games... but I absolutely love your channel and the things you build. Thank you for posting

[@CronosVids]

I guess it’s fitting since you called your channel miscast. Fun video nonetheless, thank you for taking us along for the ride.

[@simonnewport3751]

Trent, watching these videos really takes me back. I was rubbish at playing the games, but I mainly enjoyed customising & painting the models. I love this channel so much

[@Miscast]

Thank you brother, hope to see you again soon!

I love to see the pages of your notebook, it always interests me to see what people draw for their notes and thoughts. Thanks for sharing

[@thewizardjoe88]

I haven't even finished the video but, as someone who has also been reorganizing their bits box lately: it feels great, doesn't it?

[@TJtheBee]

I just reorganized mine too! Discovered I had tons of stuff that could fit together, so now I'm making fake flower arrangements, but weird.

[@GrimoireOfJank]

12:00 that reminds me so much of daily driving a linux system. I have little to no technical knowledge and sometimes it seems like everything just suddenly does or doesn't work one day, and some seemingly random tinkering fixes the issue.

[@padraigmumper6956]

These recent videos have been so great, seeing the creative process in what feels like such an organic form is awesome and inspires me in a way that very few hobby videos are able to

[@jamesbarantor7094]

Way back when 3E or maybe 4E had a Feral Ork rules list show up in White Dwarf I made an ork army out of a bunch of fantasy orks I had and I also used night goblins as grots. I turned one of those boar chariots around and stuck a GI joe gun in it to make an artillery piece. Also had a squiggoth out of a thrift store triceratops that I swapped the head on. Love what you are doing with your plague orks!

[@blahblah-hw3xg]

Would maybe be cool to put a little Gretchen on top of one of the Killer Kans waving a sword about or something as if he climbed up to get a better view? Awesome vlog as ever!

[@Sepowastaken]

Man, Miscast videos always makes me want to make stuff. Sadly I don't have a lot of space or cash to spend on it. If only I could channel all that creative energy into my other projects.

[@cm410856]

I love your little notebook. my viscom teacher in highschool used to call those kinds of rough draft sketchbook drawings "Bus Sketches" because you were supposed to do them whenever an idea came to you i.e on the bus etc. love your work

[@jamesbruce1975]

Your brand of chaos is exactly what this hobby needs in the era of over serious creatives. Also did you use anything like vaseline on your sculpting tools when making the master? Washing masters before moulding might help in future.

[@enterthehollow]

@@euansmith3699 I was thinking they would be destined to wander the insides of the bits box, but sure, scatter terrain suits them well too

[@RichardThompsonCA]

If you are casting urethane into a new silicone mold, you will have to bake the silicone mold first in an oven for 4 hours at 160 f. The silicone after curing gives off alcohols and moisture that must be baked out .

[@TJtheBee]

Was this your first cast with alien clay? Maybe there was an issue between the silicone you were using and the clay? I'm not sure. ...out of curiosity, would you recommend the monster clay, or the alien clay? Debating getting some myself, one or the other.

[@wanna877]

Maybe it was some water trapped in the mold?

[@brotherhoodofsteel4751]

love the idea of the 2nd edition looking digga nob

[@novocaine2279]

You should look up a wierd game called hylics, its a clay animated rpg that i think you could get a lot of inspiration from

[@yeturs69420]

I think once you did the first failed cast you soiled your whole bottle of resin. If its true you didnt shake it well enough, you would have gotten more of a certain ingrediant in your first batch, and less of it in your subsequent batches. Ive never done this tho, so idk Looking forward to more! Edit: just finished the video. Looks like your last cast was successful. So i agree with you. Why did it work? Lol

[@callmeray7705]

I was thinking the same thing and it could still be the case, just so happened to balance out with multiple unshaken pours (so by random chance Trent got a good ratio in the end) I think it's more likely that some solvent/water based thing was on the inside of the mould (I assume theres a matrix that keeps the silicon stable and during the cure it evaporates and some might have been left in if it was used quickly) and cooking it forces it to evaporate. But could easily be something else entirely.

[@cymrodave]

Those are so awesome😁

[@funwithmadness]

You didn't include it in your video, but check your mixing cups. If the resin cured in those but not in the mold, then it likely is not a bad mix ratio. I've had things take extra long in a pressure pot. You might have simply been jumping the gun as far as de-molding. Leave the parts in there a bit longer than usual. Another thing, did the tacky castings ever cure completely? If so, then, again, it might have simply been that you did not leave them in the pressure pot long enough. There's also the consideration of how volume, pressure and temperature are related. It's been way too long since I studied those, but I vaguely remember Boyle's Law being a part of that discussion. It could be that the increase pressure is affecting the temperature which in turn is affecting the curing. But I'm guess at that. I really don't remember.

[@Miscast]

Jaylikethealphabet - GET IT

[@billyspocketlife]

I believe your mold didn't cure completely or possibly absorbed natural oils somehow. Potntially something from your A+B process where maybe oils have seeped through the bottle/s somehow?

[@Miscast]

Interesting! I'll investigate!

[@billyspocketlife]

@@Miscast Honestly just by best guesses,, I believe if it's the containers then it would be similar to plastic yellowing overtime maybe something due to manufacturing that has taken a while to develop. your other cast might not have done the same because it's in a controlled area / more internal that doesn't affect the cast or that you can see.

[@Fueledchaos]

I want the whole army. But when those killa kans are on sale I will through that cash all the way to Oz.

Pretty sure the silicone had cure inhibition from the figure you made the mold of. Probably had sulfer in it.
