mould for a entire spitfire
Posted by duckman on Wednesday, October 27, 2004 7:57 PM
^ ^ ^ I have spilt the fuselage into two pieces and wings into 3 and i have removed all landing gears,canopy ect.
im thinking probably a epoxy mould and casting resin for the model
i want the spitfire mould to be reusalbe for up to 15-20 time so i can make a large squadron of them for a super cheap price!! but there is stilll some questions like:
where is the place i should go to buy casting resin and mould release?
ans is there ome thing better to use for the mould shell other than apxy or cement??

Most silicone or RTV molds will last for about 20~30 pulls, mold release agent won't wary this drastically.

A Box to make your mold can be done from a variety of materials Wood, Cardboard, Lego Bricks(I use this method), etc.

You will need to watch out for undercuts of course during the mold making process,some undercuts require a 3 or more part mold.

Can't help with places for shopping for materials though, as I get all my stuff from the local Hobby shop.
