I have recently been finding it more and more difficult and expensive to hunt down and purchase spare parts for my vintage collection. Even shadow wings are getting hard to find and will set you back $5 - $10 each. I had been reading with interest a number of articles on casting your own parts, and after having seen the results of someone else's work, I decided to take the plunge and do it myself.

My first foray into casting set me back about $120 and I had limited success. Some of this was due to one of the bottles going off before I got it. This was replaced free of charge and I started to get very good results. I am now using a number Barnes products such as EasyCast, ClearCast and PinkySil, as these have provided better results, come in much smaller (and cheaper) sizes and are now available at more outlets (including one in Richmond, VIC).

The pics below show just about all the parts I have started making for myself. I am gradually taking more detailed pics of each part, and will build up the gallery over time. The wings are the easiest, but the roll bars/engine covers with their fine detail and narrow pipes are a real pain in the neck. I don't ever intend going full bore to make and sell parts, but I do have a few extras already, and will be willing to help out the odd person here and there struggling to find replacement parts. In order to at least cover my costs I will charge 50c for small parts (heads & airboxes) and $1 for medium parts (small wings, large airboxes) and $2 for large parts in raw form straight out of the moulds. If you want me to file, sand and paint them up for you as well, then the price will be $2, $3 and $4 respectively, because of the extra time and effort involved.

I have just started to have some success with clear casting of windscreens, headlights and the like. I can do the March 721, Lotus 72 JPS and Ferari 312B2 F1 windscreens ($1 raw, $2 cleaned up, $3 tinted), as well as the Electra, Javelin, Cobra and Hurricane ones ($3 raw, $4 cleaned up). Can also do Cobra & M1 lights, with more on the way. Am still getting some very tiny bubbles and flaws in some castings, but am improving as I go. Will post some pics of these shortly.
