First Look
J's Work is an interesting company producing a nice range of details and diorama accessories of use to a wide range of modelers. In this release, we have a silicone rubber mold for producing brisk wall sections sized to support 1/35 scale dioramas and vignettes. The mold will produce two wall sections per pour.
To use the mold, simply mix up your favorite medium - resin, plaster of Paris, Aves, whatever - and pour it into the mold. It is especially easy if you pre-color your medium to the color of the stones you will be having in your brisk wall (reddish-brown, gray, whatever) and pour it into the mold. When it sets up, simply flex the rubber mold to release the wall sections and pour another batch, if needed. Next, simply dove-tail the wall sections together and use the same material to make the binding blend together.
General-purpose molds like these are really handy for a variety of applications and making your own bricks will save you the cost of buying packages of pre-made bricks, especially at the inexpensive price of these molds!
You can obtain J's Work details and accessories from Lucky Model.
My sincere thanks to J's Work for this review sample!
