Changes every week... A lot of the castings I make have small faults - air bubbles, cracks, whatever... not good enough quality for a primary piece in a diorama, but the flaw may be so insignificant that it can be used as a background piece, or the "bad spot" can be broken off, leaving a partial piece that is well done. For example, I may be casting some two-story walls with windows... when I pull the piece, I find the second story windows don't look good due to an air bubble in the casting... so I break them off, and now you have a one story wall that has the "top blown off"... The last fellow bought about 8 lbs worth of resin doors and windows, a sheet or two of individual bricks, several partial walls, and a fountain with some unintended battle damage. Think he also got some furniture pieces that would look good under a pile of rafters and mortar... So anyway, it depends on what I have been working on during the given week. I usually have a nice assortment of about 10-20 pieces laying around, and I charge by the pound ($16.00 per pound). It is some of my most popular stuff... it sells like crazy at the local shows.

I think I would like to see photos of your furniture and debris castings.
