  1. 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
