May I ask guidance for resin replicating a rather large piece?

[red Dog]

I created a JBD for dioramas, but I'd need 3 of them and building this one alone took a considerable time and effort.

It would be smarter to replicate this one somehow

 

Problem is I have zero experience with resin. Where should I start? 
I can get the products easy enough but what I lack is the basic understanding and tutoring for such techniques

 

Here's the part I'm willing to replicate. I do realize it wasn't built for creating a mold, So I am aware that at least I may have to built another one specifically to create one? 

the left side is the JBD internal side (the other side is flat) - and the right part is the inner plate of the JBD

Both should be replicated separately.

 

Any hint, tip or method or advices to rebuild them with the molding process in mind is welcome.

Thanks

Excuse my ignorance but what’s a JBD? What are the dimensions of the finished castings?

May be I can give you some guidance but I need some more detail about what you’re trying to do.

 

Cheers,

Everything looks quite simple to replicate except the rods in the left section. This is a problem. Otherwise a flat one side mold can be used for each section. We can discuss it if you want.

I considered that one, but after studying the dimensions of that model, I am afraid these are not accurate from what I gathered in my sources.

thank you very much, I'll be looking forward to that. the rods can be removed (they are not attached yet.)

 

Thank you all for chiming in

Two flat parts should be no problem we run parts triple that size on a regular basis for some of our customers if you pm me I can sort you out, If you have access to plastic or perspex sheet bigger than you parts.
