I want to make/have someone make copies of a scale gas can I made. Anyone do this? or know someone that does?

Thanks

It's 1/24 scale (tiny )

Team3six showed me a kit that I ordered to do it myself. Hopefully it gets here in a timely manner.

X2. Post what kit it is and the results when your done.

Ive seen a kit at Hobby Town to mold your own plastic parts. It comes with everything, I think. Id like to try one day, just not today.

Micro Mark has some really nice kits to get you started into molding.

I'll definitely document it. It shipped out today with free upgraded shipping from ground to USPS priority! I'm so excited!

Got the kit the day before yesterday.

Poured the mold, then went to class, and a little over 8 hours later:


So I pulled it out, came out really clean:


About 20mins later I had my first copy:


Then I proceeded to make another every ten minutes until I had four copies. Here is what a couple look like mounted on my rig:



For those of you who don't know, these gas cans are called Rotopax:

And this is the tire mount I copied:

Check out my build! Street's t4r build(going IFS)

I'll be making several more copies shortly.
