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 B)

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

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.

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. :)

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!
