Hirst Arts Molds for Sale/Trade

[Glenn M]

Alright, here is the dealy-o.  I have three Hirst Arts mold that I like, but don't really ever use.  So I figured I can trade them for molds I want, that or sell them so I can buy some molds I like.

I have molds, 70, 71, and 260.  These are three Fieldstone molds, covering the basic walls, 1" floors, and then an accessory mold.
Here are the pics:

Now, I'd like to trade these for other molds.  Here are the ones I am interested in.
94 - Egyptian Temple
95 - Egyptian Wall
290 - Egyptian Floor
292 - Egyptian Decorative Floor
40 - Basic Block
50 - Wizards Tower
55 - Bell Tower
56 - Tomb
60 - Prison Tower
65 - Ruined Tower
201 - Floor Tile Various Sizes
203 - Cracked Tile

Or I would be willing to sell them, retail would be around $95 and shipping.

I'd go for less, make an offer.

Thanks,
Glenn

If anyone gets these maybe you could mold me a few to make the dungeon larger. Id get them myself but the law has been laid down about any new purchases in the near future.

You might want to go to www.matakishi.com and check you the Infinity buildings article; they use plastic, foamcore and Hirst Arts molds to really good effect.

So does all this talk mean you want to buy/trade them

[warzoneD]

Would love to - but not in a position to right now - Will have to stick with Sci Fi Scenery for the moment

Looked through the Hirst website. Never seen these guys before, don't know how I could have missed them.

Stuff looks really great. I'm especially digging the Egyptian molds....I'm planning a Wargods of Aegyptus campaign and could definitely use those.

To those that have used the molds before, how do they rate?

How has your experiences been with the finished product? (Quality/Wear/Etc)

How easy were they to use?

I'm using them primarily to enhance scenery I'm building with foam core and other materials - I did make one bldg JUST using the molds and it looks quite good.  Mind you - unless you buy multis of the same mold you're going to be doing a lot of casts to build one item.

I also got the Merlin's Magic for my casting material - it takes a little tweaking finding the right mix but once you do it's great.  Also - depending where you are, shipping can be pricey.

Southpaw, they are incredibly easy to use.  I have only used normal plaster thusfar, but I want to pick up some Merlin's Magic as I have heard great things about it.  Anyways, no single cast will get you far, maybe a small ruin, but around 10 or so can build you something nice.  Normally to get a good sized building you are looking at 30-ish.  Ruins take a lot less and are far more forgiving for mistakes, also much easier to game on. 

I have built a few structures straight up, including my dungeon and the Warlock's House (on his website, also my first build, came out pretty bad actually), and use them to enhance, both work great.  The molds I have are really nice for fantasy, and work best for areas where worked brick would not be common.  Heck, they'd even do well to make 1" high fieldstone walls to fence in sheep and such.

Hirst Arts has some amazing stuff, and I have been more than happy with my purchases, but I want to move on to other molds more fitting of the stuff I use, so worked brick and maybe the Egyptian (Gotta cover my Elves and my Stygian)

Just go over to his website, he has a ton of great data on his molds and how to use them.

If you want mine, I'll give you a nice discount

depending on the material u use it will be very neat. i have a roman temple from them.


i used "cera-fix" before, a substance (other brand exists) that you mix with water and in about 30 min (after getting hot) it is hard like ceramic and absoutely durable.

-> try it, easy and rewarding.

I decided to sell these for $75 shipped to anywhere in the US, if overseas, I may have to tack on a few extra bucks.  I just want enough to be able to grab a couple molds to replace them.

The molds values are $34, $34, and $29, so instead of $97 and shipping I am gonna go for $75, so you are getting around $20 off.  They are still in great shape as these things are great forever.

Later,
