Hi Russell,
Hey mate, I'm really pleased you're persevering with this big one....
Frustrating they can be at times, but we who wish for things not on the open market, need to make our own way....and you're on the right track.
I've only tried doing my own resin once, the 1/25 Munro conversion I did a few years ago.....
I wanted desperately to make my own wheels and tyres for my 1/12 Datsun.....I got as far as making the masters, then sent them off to be made for me.
It won't give me the full satisfaction as making them from start to finish, but I'll know I played a major roll...

I went with the individual tread blocks, all hand cut separately....time consuming, YES !......perfect.......well, NO .....But they look ok, and will be ok in rubber.
Here's where I was at before sending them off....


And both tyres completed....


Keep persevering with your ideas Russell, I know you're on a winner mate..
cheers
Greg
