I have a like-new Hawk brand 1/24 Mercedes-Benz GP V-12 engine that should be resin copied, but I need to locate someone in N CA that has the skills 'to teach an old dog'. I don't seem to be able to find an online tutorial that covers the subject well enough to risk. I also have some Stombecker Halibrands ((1959 Scarab 1/24 kit) that I'd like to duplicate for other models.
Is there any interest in making the molds from this disassembled engine (provided by Hawk as a display engine with their GP racer curbside kit in the early 'sixties) out there? It is not elaborately detailed, but a nice representation of a DOHC V-12 mit kompressor (about ten pieces), and could be used as a basis for numerous mid-century V-12 conversions; personally, I want to simulate a Harry A. Miller engine. I might be willing to provide the original for an experienced caster to duplicate it in exchange for two resin copies and the original returned, if anyone is interested. :-<)
