I casted and still do a bit i never found it simple as there was no one to tell me the tips ,you greatest night mare will be air bubbels ! i used plenty of little wooden sticks like tooth picks to leave air holes in the moulds
the way i learnt to cast was trial and error \
i did up to 40 tankers in my time and all the parts for them
num 1. you will need rubber to make the moulds its not cheep to make one tanker mould it cost me over £100 and only does a while
hears the stuff i used theres diffrent strenths of it... http://www.sylmasta.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Silicone_Moulding_Rubber_50.html
num 2. when the moulds are made you pour resin into the moulds mix it two equal parts dont take your time !! the first time i mixed it set up my mould grabed the jug and tried to pour it and it was solid you get about 3mins with it so be quick hears the stuff i used it was the g27 one from what i can remember

yes its a conversion on that model the 8560 i changed -roof, chassy couler, front linkage/pma weights, decals, becons, areils, mirrors, decals, opend window and a few coustom decals
i made mine out of a sweet tin but would be the smallest one around would need to be double the size but my yard wouldent hold a big one so that done mine and then made a stand out of plastruct
if your very carefule and put the glue where needed i can get away with it but other plastics may be worse i think there is more topics on this on hear
