The airbrush is a tool I’ve had access to for a while, but have always put it off. Special thank you to Crafsson for the encouragement, and to our friend who sent us our first airbrush.

I made a complicated SIMPLE TOY with DIY injection molding
It is possible to make injection molds using a resin mix. I don’t like using 3D printed molds directly, for reasons of weaknicity and brittleness.
