Can anyone cast these parts?

I need these Monogram 1/24 Pro Stock 4 link rear end parts(circled in green) cast in resin for a few builds. I also have the rear end housing and the inner wheels that will need to be cast also.

I haven't been able to find this exact setup.

Thanks, Mike.

Those parts are really delicate. In resin, you'd have a hard time keeping them intact.

You'd come out ahead by purchasing more Monogram kits to raid for parts. It's very likely that the resin you want would cost more than an entire old kit. You'll also have the rest of the kit to add to your spares stash.

If you positively have to have duplicates and cannot afford kits, here's what I'd do.

See how the parts are just rods, attached to fittings? I'd replicate the fittings from styrene and obtain some styrene rod of the correct diameter. You can then carefully glue away. Stiff wire will work also, as will brass rod.

Make a pattern and carve the fittings from sprue, or if you like buy some plastic sheet. A $1.99 "For Sale" sign from a DIY store will work just fine.

Wayne,

I was able to locate someone who has some of these parts and I measured the diameter of the rods and will try and make some with some evergreen rods and sheet I have. I was trying to avoid making these.

I know you were! I would have also, but I think making them is easier, as resin casting what will be a delicate piece is the pits.
