Not too bad though the smaller the mini the worse the product. Anything
smaller than a tank tends to become a blob. Rhinos and Land Raiders turn
out pretty well with about 1 in 6 being useful only as destroyed
vehicles. Though, I will admit, the people I know who do this have more
time to try this out than I do.

It tends to take about an hour to three hours to get the resin to set.
And about thirty minutes to set up the molds if you haven't cast them
permanently.
