RE: Scratchbuilding Vehicles

Paul,

Rob Deakin has had excellent success using simple modelling clay and
children's plasticine. He's made four moulded vehicles so far including
the
master for the BMP-90 that Nic at Eureak sells. Rob makes his moulds
using a
silicone based material and runs out his models using "standard" resin.
Works a treat!
