 Casting resin (from http://www.barnesonline.com.au/) along with other bits and bobs |
 Pouring a casting without putting something on top - no bubbles, but you need to file heaps off it when set |
 Finished casting - a dud because I didn't get rid of the air bubbles between the resin and the plastic on top |
 Making a casting - poured in the resin, then put scrap plastic over the top to make a flat base |
 Mould with the master removed |
 Mould for a wagon underframe set, still have to pull out the master. I should have glued it down to the box base, to avoid the silicone getting on the back |
