Hi all, new to the forum! Well, not new to reading it, but I hope now by posting that I can contribute to all the great information on this site!
I recently 3d-printed a prototype G43 gondola body in HO scale, and would like to make copies of this shell in resin. Unfortunately, I have tried my hand at casting a few times, and know that I do not have the skill to do it myself. Has anyone ever used a resin casting service, or had a friend cast for them, that they would recommend? I am not looking for a large order, just 15 or so good-quality shells, and being a college student I am sort of on a budget (this just means no $400-700 molds, like a few services I have contacted quoted me). The picture below shows the shell I'm talking about, to put it in perspective. Thanks in advance for any help!
