The resin I use is 1:1 but it is by weight which makes it that little bit more fiddly having to use kitchen scales. The silicone is a 10:1 ratio and again this is by weight. If it was all just 1:1 rat ...

I reckon there would be more satisfaction building one up from scratch, so don’t sell yourself short on that count. But I ended up being satisfied enough just getting it into the country. You would no ...

Just thought I might as well throw in a pic of my Greedo Killer.
Its a replica Mauser with lathed aluminium scope and flash supressor. This is an older picture and it now has a real scope.

I also use the 3 minute water like resin. The only thing I haven’t been doing is pouring the resin quickly, I just assumed slow was the way to go. I tried the suggested method with my last attempt and ...

Well, some issues with the resin casting have been resolved but now I’m faced with another couple. I had a go at using pigment in the resin which made the resin really thick and I thought I wouldn’t g ...

Another great product I found is PermaPoxy. It’s a 5 minute epoxy which comes in a 2 oz container.
It’s like a 1” x 3” roll of plasticine with the hardener in the centre.

My guess is that one side of the mould has less hardener in it because it is more flexible th ...

I’ve just started into the wonderful world of RTV Silicone mould making and resin casting. I made a singlepoint scope and a DH-17 blaster tip then made the 2 half silicone moulds, which looked to be g ...

Thanks very much Jim,
I hope the oven lid still works.
Im more excited about getting a bit of the hardibacker 500 than the mounts.
At least I'll be able to compare it to our stuff and hopefully ge ...

I sure have to second that motion. I still haven’t got real far with the vacuuforming system but with all the fantastic contributions from all those friendly folk out there this is the Number 1 site f ...

OK, the money should be in your Paypal account right now. ( US$33 ).
Thanks very much
