Moving along. Something good & something unfortunately not so good. The good is I have realised what I was doing wrong with the resin... or more so what I wasn't doing. Giving it a good stir before using. Simple. i just did a cast in the mould of the B52 parts. The mould still had flakey resin in it from an usuccessful pull. I was hoping this pull would secure all the left over resin so it would clean the mould for another few casts. Good thing is it worked quite well. even on this cool night so all is good. The bad part is ive wrecked the mould from trying to scrape the crusty flakey unsuccessful casts out... Looks like Im not going to get these parts done until I get a B52 kit as I have returned Phils last week. On the bright side I know what i was & wasn't doing & will now get my new roco 211's moulded & casted so i can finish that part of the project up aswell as start moulding & casting some of the other parts I & the team need.
