Hi, I'm just started scratch building 1/43 scale cars. I will be making every part of the car to include body shell, windows wheels, seats and tyres etc.

 I have completed a few silicon moulds now and have cast some pieces in Fast Cast Resin. They turned out very well for my first attempt apart from the brittleness of the finished items. What product can I use to give the finished casting a bit of flexibility like the shop bought plastic models?

Any ideas much appreciated thanks!

Also as I am new to mould making and casting, if anyone has any useful tips for me I would be grateful.

Many thanks

Hi Andy C
I have used this a few times with good results,be warned the 320 has a very short pot life.
