Making molds and casting parts

Dear All my Slava cruiser has many parts that are replicated lots of times - hatches on the vertical missile tubes as an example.

Is there a good tutorial some where that will show a rank novice how to go about making the molds and then casting the parts?

Hello,

Here are some videos for the products I use when casting. It is not a plug for the products, I just use them as I can get this brand locally and not others.

Thanks James,

I like the look of the smooth-on site and I can order it from a supplier here in Aus. :thumbs_up_1:

Don't forget to check all the various Completed Builds [Fully Documented] - ARH and Bill Waldorf have both described their mold-making and casting processes.
