AFV News has a great series of line drawings. They cost 2 bucks a piece with a minimum order of 5 prints I believe. Here's their site:

I also have some of these prints for sale, including I believe the one you are looking for, e-mail me and I'll send you the list that I have for sale. I'm asking a buck a piece.

Bare Metal sells resin and mold making rubber. They advertise in FSM all the time.

Look up Alumilite corp on the web- they distribute dow corning mold rubber and thier own casting resin.Their website has some good casting info. I would also recommend a company called Smooth-on for mold rubber and casting resin. Smooth on is my choice for resin.

Hi, I'm a new returner to the hobby. I am using Alumilite two part liquid rubber and would like some opionons on the other kinds of rubber manufactures there are. I know of Dow, but what exactly do all those strange numbers really mean. U understand tear strength, but that's about it. Ihave looked at micro-mark in the FSM and the price for the liquid rubber is less than Alumilite. What other types are there and which ones are best. I know of a company called Smooth-on, but is it better,cheaper, stronger?
