Cast? You resin cast? I've only done sand cast (brass) for large objects.

Yeah used to cast ship models under navalworks we had great reviews but my partner made a bad deal and we lost the business stolen by Jim Shirley productions. Lost my interest after that another guy did armor 35 scale I think quite his job to start his business the company he contracted to do the casting stole the masters marketed it under their name the guy had to be hospitalized for a nervous break den. That was decades ago and now I'm getting interested to try again first some armor and planes then maybe try to recreate my ships I have some hulls i casted oversized for making the California and Arizona both were in magazines as the best resin cast. Within a year their were like a dozen new companies and Japan that was considered the model masters greatly improved on detail most high detailed companies have all gone under. Many lost their sales when trumpeter and other model companies did plastic models at 25 to 35 percent of what the resin companies were charging. I hope to one day recreate my Arizona and improve it, my one biggest fault on the kit that people didn't like is the casement guns I did it with the shutters on people wanted the casements open so they could mount the five inch. I'm thinking of redesigning it so the casement is open and you can put a complete five inch on gun plateform in the casement house. It'll be a project a all the directors I had to scratch build, that dude from classic warships calling his kits craftsmans kits saying you can take parts from other models to Finnish his kits. One most of his kits were way off on shape and deminsion and most parts didn't exist for those ships in 700 waterline. Anyway reworked my m47 wanted a elevating gun then want to back date it. Maybe make that 105 variant. Almost have my su done just need to finish the gun mount and gun. The gun will elevate and you can pull it out and I'm going to make that long barreled 152 think they did only one prototype but it looks kewl. I think they did some other projects on the su and isu hulls. Iike trying the 122 and others. You have to admit that the Russians were big into tank experimentation and guns trying out all sorts of things. They developed a lot of long range field guns that even our long range guns couldn't touch. Was a huge problem for us in Vietnam. The RPGs then were ot as effective and had a hard time knock out our tanks but they had lots of them and could damage the tanks tracks or running gear. There are so much more effective now good thing they didn't make them as good then we could have lost a hell of a lot of tanks.
