40K TERRAIN CASTING, sort of...

Matt, the idea here was a low wall, balcony railing, or parapet wall...(red panel is the foamotype)





An individual panel...


And the foam mold...

Obviously, this technique isn't going to capture fine detail, but it will probably work for some generic, modular building panels, especially after I correct some mistakes I made. It seems well suited to anything constructed of concrete...like bunkers, barricades, etc.
After seeing the results of this first attempt, I'll probably try a mold to create flooring or road next. (as soon as life allows)

The rectangular indintions in the wall--carved, or did you paste a spacer back into the mold?

A spacer was part of the mold, you can kind of see it in the last pic. Early on, I wasn't spraying with enough PAM and these blocks pulled away from the mold (embedded in the cast panel). An extra blast of non-stick fixed the problem though.
