Me too! I am getting starting on the structures phase of my layout, and I want to scratchbuild lots of details that I then want to cast. I'm still learning too.
I have used Alumilite's Quick-Set RTV Silicon Rubber. I got it at Hobby Lobby for around $30. I used it to make a bridge abutment mold. I then cast the actual abutments using Plaster of Paris. I was happy with the results. http://pmrr.org/Articles/Scenery/Abutments.htm - Peter. On 03/19/2011 5:24 pm, Wesley Ewell wrote: > The purpose of this group is to share techniques and ideas.
