Well Laz when no one will make one for you, then you just have to do it yourself!
And it is a true 1:48 scale!

I think the Hot Wheels is either 1:64 (S gauge) or 1:87 (HO scale). I have not found anyone making a 1:48 or 1:43 O gauge scale one.

David - your casting and stuff is just very interesting. Are you going to write a dummies guide or something? Maybe you could make some PDF step by step files - I'd pay a couple $$$ to download it for "someday".
Tom - it looks like you used a real sausage??? Was that a plastic one you found somewhere?
Dunno why, Zeke, but I really like the goofy halloween stuff. Your gf sure came through, some nice stuff you got there! Keep it tubular, dude!
Everybody - nice pics as always!
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

The main body is carved from blue foam and the hot dog is several pieces of HO drain tile and a small rubber ball on the end. the front of it is modeling clay which was baked. The chaise is from a 1/43 scale SUV.

Hi Jim,
Planning to do an article in a few months in OGR, but they tend to hold things for a long time. My interests in casting include the basic 3 types:
1 Rock and brick mold castings using latex
2 bridge and building castings using plaster and/or concrete using custom made wood forms
3 making trains (wheels, chassis, gears and so on), using RTV and various types of resins, as well as lead, solder and other casting materials
casting is one of those interesting and fun subhobbies; who says toy trains are boring? It's probably the most creative hobby there is, with a lot of learning and adventure
TOM, BRAVO on the construction of that WEINNER.
YOU DA MAN!
