this link looks like it has good info.

I have used the Micro Mark Products and Leggos, yeah Leggos I use the to make the boxes that hold the resin and the part you are casting.

Micro Mark has a starter kit with all you need but the Leggos for around $70, you can get a bucket of Leggos for $10 and for a body you will need a Leggo Base Plate.
Now go take a look at a regular styrene model, see those seams on the body? Thats where the pieces of the mold come together, and thats where a body is tricky to cast.

thanx man that really helps

Try to help yourself before you ask for help.
