Moving

For the time being, I've moved all my blogging to here: https://strangevistas.wordpress.com/

So if you're a longtime reader (and you got to go way back, apparently) you know I have been making terrain using Hirst Arts molds for almost two decades. Their molds are wonderful, versatile, and durable. Recently I discovered another similar company called Scenery Forge . They also make RTV silicone molds for casting pieces with plaster to make wargaming and roleplaying game terrain. Unlike Hirst Arts molds, which basically have you casting small blocks that can be assembled in countless ways, Scenery Forge molds have you casting larger pieces.
