Large Scale Central

Shrinkage?

Wow, this stuff looks pretty cool: http://www.sculpt.com/catalog_98/CastingMaterials/HydroShrink.htm

You make your master with this stuff and it shrinks to 51% of the original size. Then you make a casting of that. Seems like a neat way to get the detail you want.

Anybody tried this stuff?

Bruce, All:

Wow! A potentially great find.

I have even more interest in the Hydrospan product. See:

That might make reproducing smaller scale items in a larger scale easily doable.

Hydrospan was used to do this 20.3 UP 800 driver from a O-scale brass driver. That is a 20.3 scale with it
