slammdsonoma Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 this is from a 1/20 scale diecast dubcity s10, a friend sent to possibly get casted out to upgrade a 1/20 from the old clip to a newer clip. I was having tough luck with this one, til i woke up this morning and realized that if i tore it apart and cast pieces as smaller parts rather than one big piece, itll come out better...and it did. Now i have a 4 piece kit that will glue up tight and set right in place to a 1/20 s10 or the blazer kit with slight modification to the body for true fit. im also casting up peterbilt 359 rims/tires, in silver/black or in the specialty line..which is whatever combination of colors ya want. ive pulled off deep purple, light blue, pink, gray, black, copper, silver...also can get green, yellow, orange. or variations of the lot.
Longbox55 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 That's pretty cool. I do have some constructive critisism, though. On the headlamps for the S10 grille, you might consider remolding them with separate clear lenses, like what the master parts have. That will improve the look greatly, especially with the larger scale.
slammdsonoma Posted September 27, 2010 Author Posted September 27, 2010 thanks, and im in the process of doing that, even though these work just as well.
slammdsonoma Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 and speaking of clear pieces, i tried it out..it yellows in the mold and has micro-bubbles..something i cant fix. heres what the lights, w/o the bucket behind it ( still working on a thinner version of the lights, so a molded bucket will work with it.
RyanSilva Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 You arent pressure casting huh? You should , especially with clear. It will take care of those bubbles for ya.
