Hey Rob, if you are going to make parts, are you sure you want to use plastic and mot resin or white metal? Those are the most common types of part molding for modeling. If you get Model RR Mag., this process was described in the May 2002 issue and is pretty simple to do. To mold parts out of plastic would require a injection machine to force the plastic into the mold. Complicated stuff and not in the average persons price range either. I do have a book called "How To Cast Small Metal and Rubber Parts" (work for resin too) by William A. Cannon, that explains how this is done covering simple molds to spinning the mold for the metal parts. Hope I'm helping a bit. If any more questions come about, I'll do my best to answer. I have a friend who is a Model Maker by profesion for a archatectua(sp?) Co. So I get surrounded by this cind of thing.........Jamie
