@Paolo: yes i thinking about a curbside kit.But first i will do a transkit.Need some fresh money right now.


starting with the mold now.....



All parts are ready now.The silicone got the right temperature and all other stuff is in reach.



First layer silicone was done with a pencil to avoid air bubbles and to secure i got all details right.



Than i filled the deeper holes with silicone so there should no bubbles under the body parts.



Now all is ready for filling it from above.





Nearly 4kg silicone later its done.Next step will be the inside of the body.

Nice progress. Really appreciate how you share your techniques for making the molds, very educational and gives me ideas for the next time I do some resin casting.

[Capri-Schorsch]

Here it is,partially.



The bottom was removed:You can see that the silicone looks good.


The white plastic sheet was removed from the windows.That was something i feared a bit.But it was easy and with some fine work it will be ok.



The grey ureol piece will be placed into the mold to save some resin.
Will use two wooden bridges and hang them into the mold from above.

Looks good so far.The windows are open now and i moved a bit step forward.

Amazing work! Looks easy, but all of us who made any cloning work know what difficult is to create a good mold and over all, good copies. Very good example of how to make it in a good way!

Pictures tell more than my basic english. :roll:
Last part of making the mold.



Inner core was cast with resin.



Thats how it looks when its pulled out of the mold.



Take a closer look into the silicone mold.





Think its looking really good.I am happy with it.



Thats how the inner core look like.Ugly and rough.But at the end i will invest some time for smoothing it.



Cut the rear end of and sanding the cut.



Here is my guidance( dont know how to say "schwalbenschwanz-führung" in english) for both parts.





Ready for casting now.



Thats it.Have to wait until its hard and than i start with smoothing the inner core.

Impressive tutorial! I'm eager to see the cast parts coming out of this!

Btw, according to LEO it's called a dovetail guide.

That is some serious model making! Very cool.

First body was cast today.



The inner core was sanded a bit.Not too much,just right for casting.



First step is to lay the smaller part into to mold and than the bigger one.I secured it with the screws.



Just made the first body.I needed 600g Resin for it and hope all smaller parts are filled with resin without big air bubble.
Need to cure until tomorrow now.Its saver when its getting hard overnight to avoid bending.

Amazing work. Thanks for taking the time to share

[Capri-Schorsch]

something to show for you























worked very well and i am happy with the result.No big air bubbles.Looking very good.
Only i have to be careful when i remove the inner core.The part from the roof to the rear wing is broken.But i will use a different way the next time.Should work better with more care.

Oh Boy,
this is really looking very nice.
You show very great skills here,
but that's what we know from your other builds.

Very, very, very nice.
