Hi! I’m working on a gift idea. I’ve made a bunch of Lego pieces and mounted them within a Lego cube frame that measures 13cm each way. I now want to cast the whole thing in resin (blue with lighter bits). The whole thing is a play on the tesseract from the Marvel comic universe. I’m a total resin novice. What considerations should I have? Will the resin curing process melt the Lego? Is a 15cm cube going to take forever to cure / will it cure? I need information. In theory I can fill the cube with more Lego to reduce the amount of resin used. How much resin will I need? Which resin in best suited? Lots of questions!

For the Tesseract appearance, you could try either the blue from the pack of 6 Translucent Pigments, or you could look at the Neon pigments which might give you a more vivid effect. Alcohol Inks could be worth experimenting with as well because they ass an explosive burst of colour.
