I use Procast from Barnes here in Australia. It’s fast cure and is nice and flexible.

Hey, No, Facebook page is the same as this page. Depends on the resin you use, if you use a fast set resin like I do, you just have to mix it very carefully to minimise the bubbles. If you use a slow set then you could use a pressure pot, which squashes the bubbles.

I used Barnes Procast.

3D printing is great for most things but still has its downside, I sell a lot of my resin bodies to drag slotcar guys and they stand up pretty well, whereas the 3D resin printed bodies are way too brittle, I’m sure they are working on improving this but at the moment they don’t last real long. I’m to simple to get into 3D printing, haha, don’t have the computer skills so I’ll stick with what I know, there is still a place for it.

Thank you, glad you liked them. Yes all well, just life gets in the way. Planning on doing some build up videos but not sure when.

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706That' s good to hear! I' ve turnt on the bell for the notification as well

Thanks mate. Yeah everything is painted and the resin colour is a good base for most paint colours. I do use a black pigment when I do tyres.

Scale is 1/25th

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706 ok thanks. I am trying to learn how to do this with model cars . 1/25 scale as well. Never done it before.

Best advice would be to join some of the resin Facebook groups or like you have, watch KZbin. That’s how I learnt. Then it’s all practice and patience.

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706 doing all that now. Only thing is. I just wished i had someone who i could ask questions to and know i would get an answer to within a resaonable time frame. Sometimes guys on youtube ignore comments on their videos. Not saying you, but so many refuse to answer questions. I inderstand they may not have time to answer questions. But its kinda where i am at. I have so many, but sometimes, just watching a video doesn't always answer it. So far, you are the only one who is doing exactly what i wanna do. So i will be watching your videos and learning as much from you as i can. Also learning from another youtuber as well. Thanks for taking the time to answer me. Sure appreciate it.

No problem at all mate, glad to help. I really can’t recommend anyone else as I haven’t watched any for years, once I saw how it was done I pretty much went on my own way and learnt from my mistakes.

You are welcome. I’m glad it made sense for you and you are able to do your own stuff. Be careful though, it’s addictive and you will want to mould everything in sight and you will waste a lot of rubber which is not cheap. The way I look at it, is the part I want to copy readily available and a reasonable price? If so , don’t waste the rubber. If it is a hard to get piece and you think you will use a lot of them, them go for it. The body I did in this video is extremely rare and o use a lot of them. I have about 6 different bodies I cast and had built over 40 last year and currently have 8 builds on the go, so we’ll worth the investment for me. Good luck with it all.

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706 you wouldn't by chance have a Holden Torana LJ body would you?

No I don’t sorry. There is a guy on eBay that has them, Resinblob is his name.

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706 thanks, I'll look into him, and I must say you are 100 percent right, this casting is very addicting! 😆

If you don’t need an LJ urgently, check out Fulbore Models, he is just about to release a full detail 3D printed LJ kit. I have built some of his utes and nearly finished a wagon, they are beautifully detailed, much better than just a resin body.

I don’t do that kind of stuff sorry, only cars but it would be a very similar process.

Haha, thanks Monique. Yes it is satisfying when it comes out right.

And this is only the start of the process.

Thanks mate, appreciate it. That’s the plan,I hate nothing more than spending time cleaning bodies up before I get to the painting stage.

I have a vacuum chamber with vacuum pump, you can pick them up on eBay for under $200AUD. I recommend at least a 4cfm pump, just does it a bit quicker than a 3cfm.

@@hktgcustommodelcars5706 cheers

Just found this clip on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnWnYnyQfMiGgdE

Cheers mate, appreciate the support.

Done a few and it’s still nerve racking, hoping it comes out the way you want.

Thanks Monique, appreciate it.

Cheers mate, certainly will do some on the painting.

Cheers mate, appreciate it.
