Ha! You guys are kind, but you should hear my priest:

"There are some skills you should be ashamed to have!"

Tried making some copies of the Harrow pieces. I’m having trouble getting the very tops of the taller pieces. I tried using a toothpick to get the air out and the resin in deeper and it didn’t quite do the trick. Any suggestions?

I'm sure others are going to chime in...but the toothpicks are not a bad trick if you leave them inside and then pour your resin...then when the mold is full, remove gently the toothpicks from the holes.
If it's a quick resin, then the trick doesn't work anymore Which kind are you using?

It's a quick resin. Good idea on putting the toothpicks in first. I'll try that next. Thanks.

Cast the resin in a pressure pot under 60psi and you won't have this problem -- pushes all the bubbles to the top of the mold, which is the bottom of the part. If any base/surface bubbles are annoying, you can fill them with putty.

Would anyone happen to have a side shot of the 1/25 Centurion III hull? So much of it is covered on the bottom rear, I want to make sure I'm labeling correctly.

Thanks,
John

Is it part #C90? If so, that's it.

Looks like A46. Different version maybe?

I'm not near my kits right now, but it might be from the Kettenkrad.

I don't have my Centurion in front of me right now, so I can't scale but it could be Bandai, unless the 1/48 part is too small.

I'd say that's it. The rectangle portion seems to match better. Thank you.

...found what I was missing...

 

[jcoffman99]

Almost there. If you recognize anything that's not colored, please feel free. I'm running out of steam on this one.

Upper left gas can is from Bandai 1/24 M60, I believe. It's definitely larger than a 1/35 tank.

This is Revell 1/32 Phantom II
