Casting your own parts
I'm thinking of casting some parts for custom projects, can anyone suggest a good starter kit. Cheers.

Re: Casting your own parts
I would of thought that perhaps Martyn Henley can offer you some good advice on this as he has plenty of casting experience.

Re: Casting your own parts
Sorry was busy and missed this ... first of all Geraint, have you thought whether you want resin or white metal castings ?

Re: Casting your own parts
Hi Geraint .. my knowledge of resin is pretty limited, although my first models i made were of resin, i got some one else to do the castings, i just did the masters ...however back then there was only one supplier of resin and the price was pretty expensive, but today there are many suppliers ..i have found one that looks pretty straight forward.
