Modeller's Guide to Mould Making and Resin Casting

An in depth manual for modellers that takes the reader through all of the practical aspects of mouldmaking, using materials such as latex and RTV. There is extensive coverage of casting, too, enabling the modeller to produce perfect duplicates from their original pattern. While the text is aimed at mouldmaking and resin casting, covering both simple one and two part moulds, there are other casting materials covered in the book for the modelmaker who wishes to explore other media, including spin casting. There is even a chapter on vacuum forming, with details of how to build and run a 'kitchen sink' vacuum forming operation, showing how to make vaccuum forming something even the beginner can undertake with confidence.
