Pontiac Resin Bonanza!


Recommended Posts

Thank you, Tonio.  Here are the first couple of bodies out of a fresh mold.  Once again notice how thin the flash in the window openings is.  Some of it just pops out on it's own upon demolding.  Cradling the mold in heavy sheet metal  and adding the dimples was a great invention for myself.  While these inventive ideas are probably considered my intellectual property, I share them so that other casters might be successful in making parts that are actually useful to a model builder.  My parts are Modelhaus quality if not better.

OK....It has been awhile.  All of the parts molds are made except the flat hood and it is nearly complete.  I had Mike straighten out the master hood and clay it up.  Mike has the eyes and knowledge to know how to make it look like it is supposed to.  The master hood is quite thin too.
