Hello all,

I have some hollow plastic models that I'm trying to make much heavier,
and I figured some sort of casting resin would be ideal, although I
don't know much about it.

I figure a low viscosity resin could be poured through small holes into
the plastic forms, but I'd need one that hardens with a fair amount of
weight.

Any suggestions?

thanks much


I've heard of folks doing large vc models filling them with the same
sort of expanding foam that UPS uses to form-pack packages with.

You have to be careful and leave an exit for the foam to expand out of,
and make sure to not over fill and blow out the model.

Here's Ian's example from his 1/32 Connie build on his 1/32nd Sig site:
