Iron-Confederate's Kila mini.
Ugh, this is one of the hardest parts of making a mini. Setting up sprues/gates for molding.
You have to work with fluid dynamics, making sure that everything flows well and that air escapes easily while keeping the sprue/gate contact points as small and unobtrusive as possible, but also have everything aligned so the mold can split down one continuous line. This is why I make things in so many parts, as difficult as it can be.
What's above is not the final arrangement that I ended up with, I had to reposition the gun piece.
All of these WIP images of Kila were originally posted in my DeviantArt gallery.
