I am intrigued by the injection molded kits in general and especially how the molds were made.  More specifically the mold cavities machining that was done with 3D pantograph die sinking machines.  I have one of these machines and would like to find any of the toolmakers that actually ran or run them making kit molds.  I know it's a long shot since CNC and EDM have pretty much taken over in mold building, but I feel like the old school methods are worthy of documentation for historical purposes if nothing else.  

I have a few questions I'd like to ask that only one of these old time toolmakers could answer.  

Do any of you oldtimers  know any oldtime moldmakers??

Science channel just ran a short episode on how plastic model kits are made. Heller is the manufacturer featured.
