More casts using toy soldiers and colour experimentation

I wanted to add colour to the cast so i started by adding arylic paint to the plaster moluld however this method of pigmenting the plaster was costly as the plaster had set before I could achieve the level of colour that i wanted.



Some of the plaster broke as it was made too thin but the cracks made a nice effect


 The result of this colour was very dull and grey like so i decide to use a resin pigment as the smallest amount was highly pigmented and i was able to achieve the dark colour of the toy soldiers at minimal effort.




The results from the redin pigment were much more satisfactory than that of the acrylic.
