Marcus' Model Railways | Casting
I have made a number of masters to use for casting: here are some photos
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 |
