Resin newbie question: Having a part cast

[cortinanut]

I'm interested in having several copies of a single part cast in resin--specifically LHD dashboards for the Aoshima '99 Miata kit. I have several copies of the kit, one of which came with LHD dash, so it's just a matter of having that dash duplicated. Are there casters who work economically on such a basis? Any recommendations? Or might someone already offer this part?

Having a part like that custom-cast will be a bit expensive, frankly! For two reasons: Costly materials, and the time involved! You might take a look at the series of articles that Gregg has done in the magazine, that at least should help you with the labor/time involved. However, there's no getting around the material expense--that's just the deal with RTV rubber and polyurethane resin.
