I'm playing around with the idea of scratch building some vehicles around the skybow beep and m38 jeep components.
from the beep I need the chassis and and from the jeep, both body and chassis.
since I don't want to destroy such nice (quit costly too) models I'm thinking about copying these parts in resin.
what would be a good mould design for a chassis and for the body of the jeep?
Thanks
Eran

the chassis is better done as a two part mold. The body as well but without looking may even need a three piece mold

Could you post a picture or drawing of the part you want to copy ? No way to advise you blindly. All depends on shape of that part !
