Been watching far too much daytime tv - get a grip...I’m rather intrigued to see if the mould rubber has worked ok- it’s like a modelling soap opera!
Hi Simon,Morning folks - mixed news on the moulding front
the fuel tank master released from the mould without problem and looks like it will cast ok
the rubber for the turret has cured and appears to be ok
it appears though that I pushed the depth of the cupola wells too far - something i did wonder about when pouring the rubber but by then it was a little late of course
due to them being a bit deep i can not get them to release from the turret master so currently the master is stuck inside a large blue rubber block - what little I can see indicates that it has moulded well though
UPDATE
well, using a bit more brute force and a pair of pliers I have finally managed to remove the master from the rubber block
slight damage to the master turret but fixable if I need to make another mould
I think I shall have to reduce the depth of the figure bins before trying a casting by slicing some of the rubber off the mould
