Use shapeways for producing the master pattern. Use a poured silicone mold material for the wax mold. Same for pewter. No vulcanized mold method. (would crush it)

I have some TT scale trucks that were made by shapeways and they work pretty well, their surface texture is a bit rough but should be ok for S scale truck frames, the material seems to be adequate for a bearing surface but I haven't run them any long distance. I think S scale fox trucks would be strong enough as they are not a thin delicate design. If you know how to make the shapeways drawings it would be an easy way to get them....DaveBranum __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7227 (20120617) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7227 (20120617) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
