Episode #137: Making Thirteenth Hour Figures Part 7 – Molding and Casting Resin Duplicates and the Case of the Almost Assassination 3

Seven weeks ago, I discussed a project to start making little figurines for characters from The Thirteenth Hour books (Listen to parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). The model for this figure is Logan riding his hoverboard, Lightning:
Last week, we made a 2 part mold. I’ve since made another one and have cranked out a little army of resin Logans and Lightnings. I’ve been adding bits of glow in the dark powder so, when exposed to sunlight, they glow in the dark.
I’m still experimenting with the right glow in the dark: resin ratio for the best effect. Here are some pictures of making a second mold.
Each figure requires a little cleanup around the edges once its been pulled from the mold. Some of these, especially the ones where there wasn’t enough glow in the dark powder, will probably be painted in color. Look for those in the near future!
Until then, check out this little adventure my brother and I have started – an online D and D adventure (done through the site Roll20) set in the world of The Thirteenth Hour, set a few years after the book of the same name. My brother wrote the story, is serving as the game master, and is playing one of the main characters. We did the first episode last week. This week, the game is afoot as the Sherlock Holmes style detective work continues around the Capital City of Tartec – poisons, potential scandal, mysterious secret societies, and old conflicts all brew together with a cliffhanger ending – catch the next episode here by clicking on the picture below:

The bonus track, called “Flight of the Cloudrider” has a 80s movie mashup music video (see if you can identify all the movies!) which is available on youtube. This app was largely created with the iphone app Auxy.
Stay tuned. Follow along on Spotify! There is also a growing extended Thirteenth Hour playlist on Spotify with a growing number of retro 80s songs.
