sorry for not finishing this up.. but i will soon. i have to go to the other side of the country this week for a family emergency. i haev finished the upper part of the mold and removed the clay. all looks good, although i dont think i mixed the silicone correctly because its still kinda soft, but it wont lose its shape or anything like that...

resin molds?
i used the clear resin for my casting and i got a few air bubbles. but overall not too bad considering my impatience. i have to trim a few areas on the body, then i get to paint!
denden, your bus came out nice! good job, can you make a 21 window?
i can wait to see the truck spanky, mebee we can all trade a body or two

whew.. those are looking like some great moldded cars you guys got going there.... anyway now that im back home i am going to start working on the truck again.. i should have some pics in the next day or two..
i do have one question. the resin that im using so far has not given me a smooth surface. when curing it gets kinda rough, and does not have that glossy look. i heard that you can apply a coat of clear to clean it up, but was wondering if anyone else is experienceing the same thing....
