ericg Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi guys, For those after updates, I have spent just a tad over $500 Aussie dollars on setting up all of the required equipment to get a better quality cast of the stuff that I am doing. Pressure chamber, vacuum chamber etc. I have the Matra R530 up to a high standard where I will be able to get them out to those that are interested, the 2 that I have cast already certainly look very good. I will initially be running off 10 missiles and then concentrating on the other stuff that I have in store. These will suit not only the Mirage but also the French Navy Crusader. I will try and get some pictures up of the completed missile in the next day or so. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericg Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Will do Harold.. but that is the million dollar question isn't it! how much is a 1/32 Matra R530 missile worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Here is the further update on the now finished Matra Missile, I made a few copies and now present to you the finished missile in resin. As you can see I have included shots of how I have cast the missile. Couldn't help but offer the assembled one up to the centerline of the Mirage. I will be working on the centre pylon next as well as tweaking my original masters of the other parts that I have in store for this great jet. Feel free to comment on my project. Eric.

LScale Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 CCH, I am just getting the centre pylon done and then they will be for sale. Eric. I have the Fischer cockpit set on it's way. Just out of interest, I do some casting myself. How many bars do you pressurize your molds at? Best I could do was 3 bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bars do you pressurize your molds at? Best I could do was 3 bars. G'day, I pressurise my molds when I am casting my resin to 60 PSI. Basically as much as I can. I am forever greatful to Harold from AMS for the guidance that he gave me on this subject and am only to happy to help should you have any further questions. I have found the most important part of the whole process is de-gassing the silicone moulds. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 G'day again, I figured that as I had done the missile, I needed to do the centre pylon as well. I present to you the pictures of the completed missile pylon with thanks to Kais for providing me with the excellent line drawing. I apologise about the `dirty' look of the pylon and missile, the wash didnt work out exactly as planned. I have 3 copies of the missile and 3 of the pylon with more to come. If you are interested, PM me and I will advise of the price that I have come up with. The missile is available seperately or with the pylon. Eric.
