How well do the Hirst molds hold up to the Resin? Does that degrade them much faster?

They hold up just fine, you can make moulds last longer by using silicon mould release spray or by dusting with talcon powder, I don't bother though.

Thank you all the positive comments and encouragement. This model turned out better than I had imagined. I started this over a year ago, was unhappy with how it looked and put it away. I revisited the model recently and started over, sometimes its best to just walk away and come back fresh.

@Tommy the jungle foliage comes from aquirium and pet shops. Sometimes cheap homestores have bits in now and then, I keep my eyes peeled for bargins and variety. Good luck.

@Shyvax I went with he big mushroon on the base as I wanted to raise the model up and change the angle so the face is seen more easily as the original model is almost facing the ground. I think once it is all painted and the base is complete it will look more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the praise.

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and suggestions folks.

@Dezs the squig colour in my army but I appreciate your suggestion of making it warmer, I may add some purple washes into the recessess to giv more depth. Thank you for heads up on the fishing minis.                 

[Second week's progress on the army...]

This blog is looking really good so far.

[Big Spider needs Big Base!]

Another great looking paint job Steve and the base sets it off really well. If I have one criticism I think the contrast between the red and brown earth is too much and could benefit from some dusting, maybe washing a thin coat of the red earth into the edges of the brown.

[If you go down to the Woods... (now with added Dragon)]

Nice end result Steve, the spots whilst tying the model in with your other dragon really help to add some 'realism' to the dragons' colour and gives that added contrast to draw the eye.

[We are but men]

Great looking infantry, its good to see the Empire infantry again.

[Dragons...?]

I love this model and have one myself, I look forward to see what you do with it.

[A Realm to conquer]

Great looking scenery that seems to fit your army perfectly, high quality and uniform. Great work.

[Extremis Chamber.]

This is fantastic Ben, I love the way you have maintained a high quality and uniformed paint scheme over every model. Such dedication and patience, massive respect.
