Thanks guys. The best video I've seen showing how to make two part moulds is here,Pinkysil 1kg kit at Barnes Products Pty Ltd. It's the way I make mine. I use this Pinkysil stuff too and it rocks. Basically all you need to do is impress the keys in the clay bed, I use the end of a paintbrush. I've been adding more and more of them especially around the break line to try and stop mould shift. worked well here as I had very little mould shift on this one. Make sure you use a fair bit of mould release between the mould halves. I use vaseline it works a treat. Also making sure that the pouring sprue enters on the bottom and there is a nice vent on the top makes for a happy mould. HTH
Great stuff Dan, thanks a lot. I'll have to have a look for this stuff in the UK - hopefully my local art shop will be able to get it, as they stock the other casting materials.

Very nicely done Dan. It's quite a nice kit that one - I built the original 'Matchbox' moulding, in 'civvy' colours, about 25 years ago, for a friend who owned a real 'Tiggie'. Looking forward to seeing the final result.
