Mold 85 has some hard pieces to get to come out correctly.  A lot of very narrow parts, especially the small bucket is giving me problems in getting the mold filled and a couple of other pieces are also inconsistent in their turn out.  But it gives them character and helps reduce the ‘clone’ effect. I guess. 
Mold 71 has a couple of problem pieces, some fiddly curved bits that are for window moldings I think that if I’m not extremely careful unmolding snap in half. I could wait longer I suppose for the plaster to harden more but I’ll just have to be more careful I think. I’ve probably only gotten 4 or 5 of these pieces intact out of last nights work and should have 10 at this point.
Molds 70, 75 and 201 don’t give me any problems, easy to fill, scrape and demold.
My piles of pieces are building slowly but surely. I’ve run about 10 moldings of 3 to 4 molds at a time and the bits and pieces are starting to pile up. There’s going to be an ass load of excess pieces though that I probably will never use.  The tiny triangles and such on the floor mold springs to mind as well as some of the more esoteric curvy bits.

those are arches for an alcove on mold 71. you can push them up form the bottom to get them out a little easier, but they do like to be in there longer. you can glue them together carefully and they work pretty well.
the triangle bits are handy for floor decorations, actually. I’ve used the bigger arches for feet of doors and other decorative bits.
if you are lazy about the mold 85 type stuff, http://www.itarsworkshop.com/catalog/ has a nice selection

You may have mentioned this in a past article, but I can’t find it… how do you store all of your terrain pieces? I have a few sets of Dwarven Forge and I keep them in the boxes, but that’s not really any option with Hirst.

I’m keeping the bits In ziploc bowls (open for drying) stacked in large “shoebox” containers that I picked up cheap at lowes and my wife picked me up a six drawer cabinet on wheels that I’ll use to keep the constructed modules in.

Cool thanks for the info.
