Hello there, over the years I have had occasion to try and replicate various bits and bobs and like a lot of other model makers have been frustrated by seemingly insurmountable problems of casting tiny, or large items.
1st off don't be scared all is possible; after all they make the bits for us so:- why shouldn't we be able to replicate their efforts ?
If you have the bit/item that you want to replicate then you are 50% of the way there.
If this is the case then get back to me and I will tell you how I make extra pieces for whatever I want. It costs fractions of pence and, with care, the results can be very impressive.

It's not expensive, It's cheap. Because of that you can practice the technique until you nail it. Then:

Happy days.

Look forward to hearing from you should you want to carry on this thread.
