Hey guys, maybe you can help me out -

I'm scratchbuilding some diorama elements and I was hoping to cast them to streamline the process. There's some finicky detail on the pieces, and I'm looking for the right resin for the job!
I really like working with the resin used by Alpine and Evolution (it has that bendability to it that seems to be very forgiving!)...anyone know what brand I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a 2-part article that may help. It lists resin in various countries, and more important, the average type for the modeller, so you can find what's similar in your area. Part 2 is on pressure casting.

Bottom line - It's not really scary once you do it, so do it!

Hope it helps.

Hi guys,

Spotted this thread and decided to follow the link and check out the reference. Wink is spot on as it appears to be a very well written guide. Having made somewhere around a gazillion casts and molds I'd have to say that it appears to be a very good place to begin. I'd also recommend visiting smooth-on.com as they have a great many tutorials explaining both their products and the processes.

If you get stuck or need more answers then just PM me and maybe I can help.
