As I mentioned before, I've been messing about with masters, moulds and resin for a little while, this below is one of the first mouldings I've produced, it's a roof for a Leeds Lance Corporal tram, the master was made from plasticard and strip, the mould is then made using a 2 part room temperature vulcanising rubber, eventually the mould is used to cast the roof section in the resin which is again 2 parts mixed together.

I'll be honest and say that the casting has had a fair bit of fettling and a coat of primer, but, I'm pretty happy with the overall result and how easy it is to do when you get used to it.

I've been using the Alumilite resin available from Nigel Lawton, ease of use is exceptional. I've also been working on the castings for the Lance Corporal trucksides (not available as a casting anywhere) and also a chassis unit, designed to take a Halling 35mm wheelbase drive unit, this will also have the stairs and platforms and hopefully be cast as one unit.........

Body master is ongoing work, could be some time..............!
