I see through your dastardly plan Tony... I send it up for you to reproduce... next you send me a pic of it on your truck!

Curses. Foiled again.

And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those damn kids!

That Pharoh face reminds me of that Tom Hanks movie. He is marooned on a deserted Island and makes a friend out of a soccer ball . " WILSON .........WILSON " MIKE

Keith,

I have this instructional DVD on a large range of mold making methods.

I will review it tomorrow night & arrange to send you a copy, if it proves to have useful information.

Often these things can be made 'in-house' with the right knowledge & materials.

If the copyright holder sees this post.......I am kidding about everything I just said. I would never do that!Anyhow, i'll get back to you tomorrow nocte with the verdict. It may be a handy FYI thing to have anyway.

There's a book here that may help -

They also do a kit here - http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-mi...-kit-500g.html

I too would love one if you manage to make a few.

Keith,

The blokes who do the lost-wax casting for sculptors to produce bronze (or any material) sculptures could do this standing on their head. Find some arty person and they will be able to track one down or I think the phone book might be a help.

I had a mold of some rubber like material made to produce Dodge bonnet badges. Seem to remember it cost under $100. I just pour two pack resin into the mold (made from an original badge) and have put out about 20 badges. Once painted you can not tell them from original. Looks like the mold could produce hundreds indefinitely.

The rubber bit you are talking about could be used to make a solid mold (inner and outer) then the rubber mould material could be poured in. Once set, popped out and repeated ad infinitem. One offs are no problem as you only need mix enough rubber compound for the order.

Thanks Tony, Lang, Lauren and Mike.

Be interested to hear what you think of the DVD.
