Can anyone tell me, or give me an article about casting/molding your own parts?
Thanks!

Scale Auto had an article in their 2002 Annual Car Modeler issue on the basics of resin casting. Let me hunt around and see if I can find it. You may be able to order a copy from http://www.scaleautomag.com, but I'm not sure.
