As some interesting parts are no longer available
went on a quest for a solution and came up with This,
These parts we gonna start moulding
First we make a box filled with wax
Lego is very interesting to make some boxes
We place the part on the wax bed
The sticks are for filling the mould later or for letting the air out
be aware that the sticks are big enough , the bigger , the better the air comes out
Then we use some legoparts to make some lock's so the mould wont't move and will stay steady
Then We build up the box so we get aprox 1.5 cm above the part
then we fill our prepared box with a silicone named neukasil it needs a 5 % activation
Wich gives us this result
Afther at least six hours dry you can turn the mould and remove the wax from the bottom of your mould
You should be left with something like in the folowing picture
Be shure to remove the locks , leave the original part in his silicone body , spray some release wax on it and fill it again with Neukasil , see above
Afther another six hours your mould is finished
Now we gonna make some copies
Be shure the mould is clean and all air and filling holes are free
we gonna use the product Neukadur
It's a 1 / 1 product you can colour by adding 5 percent pigment
any non waterbased pigment will do , as I am in to carspraying I use pigments from dupont
now Fill your mould with your mixed component
In normal themperature , at least 18 degrees celcious
you will be able to open your mould in aprox an hour
It comes out of the mould like this
You'll need to finish with a very sharp hobby knife and some fine grindingpaper starting with P400 and finishing P1000
When carefully degreased and cleaned you can paint your mould any colour you like
Good luck :D
