Making Photoetch Sets

Can an existing PE set be used to make a recreation/duplication? I have a couple sets that I don't think I can get anymore and I have always have been interested in making my own sets. Would I be able to scan it to get a good starting point or would it be better to start from scratch?

I don't really know anything about the process.

I know there was a thread a while back that went through the process, but I can't seem to find it. Can someone post a link?

You should scan PE sets and make vector drawing from them.

Gio did an awesome tutorial hopefully his pics are still up. I wish he still produced the rb engines!

Here is the link
