Thanks for the info Fred, I have been attempting some plaster casting using modeling clay to make a mold. Only trying to make cars for practice but would love to make some basic items that get used everywhere on a layout, so I am interested in the process. It could save me green stamps.

They have some liquid RTV rubber that I use to make molds from. Then they also sell the casting resin to pour into the molds!!! A mold can be used to make about 20 castings!! Sometimes more, sometimes less, just depends on the detail and undercuts of the item being molded.

Tim, thanks for the information, if I am not able to cast the things I want using plaster I will try the resin. I was able to find an article on making plaster molds using modeling clay and then cast plaster pieces from the plaster molds. It seems to work well on solid structures and things not too complex. I'll let you know how I do with it and also with the resin approach. Thanks again.

I agree Fred, Tim is the TNT man of Z. :) I have to try things that cost me nothing or little, due to my limited income. Right now I am trying to figure out how to apply ground potting foam (the wrong color) and make it end up looking like grass. If using white glue, it loosens up when painting after. Areas are too small to spray paint without an air brush. I sure wish I could find one of the old air pipettes we used when applying fixative on Pastels. I could spray paint anything with one of those old glass tubes. PBL challenge is nearly done, just adding final touches.

since this not meant to be in the game, I think the name of this topic fits for it:


You all know what you have to do to drive a steam engine?
Yes, put some coal on the fire...
Now you want to drive faster...
Put more coal on the fire...
Now you want to drive backwards...
What to you have to do?

GreetingZ, HilZen,

Uwe
