Multi-Tasking Building

   As I'm building both the Wizards Tower and Octagon Tower I am finding efficient to do them at the same time. I lay one layer down on the Wizards Tower then switch to the Octagon Tower and lay down one layer of bricks on it. The time between each is good enough for the glue to dry on the previous.

   I am also gonna need to get my hands on some more sand paper. The arrow slits seem to be slightly larger (about 1/8th inch) taller than the bricks once they level out. I didn't expect the bricks to be perfect, as from what I read, to get these molds a precise as these is a lot of work.

Oh, and Thor rocked!!

Bricks, Bricks, Bricks

  I've been building bricks from molds this last week and a half. I'm finally building the foundations for the Wizards Tower and the Octagonal Tower. It's obvious, and I knew this prior to doing these molds, that I need to get multiple molds of the same cast in order to mass produce them.

   On another note, Gen Con registration was this week and I managed to get into an advanced blocks building seminar using Hirst Arts molds. I'm hoping to pick up a few tips and tricks there. Gotta wait till early August though.
