What about that guy that made the resen/metal molds of the sidious hilt that X got?

He might be abel to help you out.

I don't actually know who made that hilt.

[Hasid Lafre]

Wouldent the seller know who did? maybe they can get togeather to do some runs or something?

Couldent hurt to ask.

What kind of parts are you talking about here? I haven't read the book that was suggested, but I looked at that link and there are certainly easier ways to make molds for smaller parts. Are you looking for a latex mold or plaster?

[Jeb Ardunis]

Judging by the mixing of chemicals, I would assume it's resin moulding. Could be latex, but I know resin mixing scares a lot of people away.

Thanks Jeb, but that's not what I was talking about. I read that article for myself. I was asking Jonitus what kind of mold he actually needed.

I thought I would go ahead and post of a few links that I saved back when I started building models. This will show you a few simpler ways of making molds for small parts. The first link even references the book that Xwing recommended.
