I wish to make some parts and hopefully whole tractors. Is it best to use resin or whitemetal or does it depend on the size of the parts? I have heard of the front axles on tractors drooping when they have been made of whitemetal but I thought a lot of Britains, etc used whitemetal for these. I'm looking at 1/16 scale tractors so they will be quite heavy. My preference is for metal but any advice and past experience would be most helpful. I assume UH are mainly whitemetal of some sort? Also any contacts who can make moulds and cast these materials would be useful.
