MODELOESPECIAL Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 So I'm an electronics technician and I work with sensors, my job has big molds made from RTV so I made this mold at work and it worked! From different kits, I used some stock rims (I'm gonna use them as speakers) some 6x9s, an amp, a bazooka, and a gas pedal. I got a chance to cast this weekend using Amazing Casting Resin and it worked good (besides a couple of air bubbles) the pedal didn't come out do to the flash around the small hole, but I fixed it and my next cast should be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Basher Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 WARNING! Casting can be addictive. Those look great, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELOESPECIAL Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thanks! Yea it is, I'm gonna try making some tires. I have some nice rims I got with a revell donk kit but don't have extra wheels so I'm gonna attempt to do a two piece mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br67 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well done ! For interest sake what did you use as a release agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELOESPECIAL Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks! I used Frekote 1711 (which is what we use at work with the RTV as a mold release) lightly sprayed the mold and heated the mold under a heat lamp for about 7 minutes.

peteski Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Nice job Eric! But that gas pedal looks nothing like any gas pedals I've ever seen. It look more like a brake or clutch pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELOESPECIAL Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thank you, I know this was my first cast, I cut the flash RTV around the pedal mold (I got the gas pedal from a revell 1957 bell air kit) so the second cast should be good, I'll post pictures when I do the next cast!
