Thanks, I like to do things like this every once in a while for a change of pace.

Love your build! As I get older, I find myself wanting to build less common cars. I'm tired of Mustangs and Camaros.

Both silicone and resin have a limited shelf life, so whenever aI get in th emood to do any of that, I  try to put together enough parts to use up all the silicone. Then I buy it and make my molds all at the same time. Then I cast parts until I end use up the resin. That way I can add them to my parts box. Once I am through casting for a while, I put the molds into a zip lock to keep them clean.To cut expenses, if you have any unusable molds, either ones that didn't come out right or ones that have been used up, you can chop them up, and drop them in as you pour the new mold. The finer you chop them up the better.They will take up space and you will end up using less new silicone. I have done this several times and have never had a problem with it.

Looks good, nice work! Jada made a diecast a few years ago and I always wanted to get one and make it stock, but never found one in the local stores.

I knew  a guy a few years ago who would buy memorabilia (Star Wars and Star Trek stuff) and figures that other people had made. He would make a mold of it to sell on Ebay and at shows. He was pretty bold about it, sometimes he wouldn't even take the copyright off of the legit stuff before making a mold.  He said that the big guys were too busy to pick on a little guy like him.
