Hi everyone,
I bought my very first scale model kit.
(1/100 Scale Metal Gear Rex Model Kit)
and wondered if it is possible to mold and recast the whole thing.
Or would it be cheaper to just buy the set a couple of times?
(because of shipping and custom costs it cost me 140 US Dollars, 130 €)
I tried to look up kit mold making but only ever found builders who copied
one piece at a time. And even then, many complained about how expensive
it all is (material for mold and casting resin)
I thought of re-casting the kit for 3 reasons.
1. Since this is my first ever model kit - and apparently not a starter one,
I am afraid to break parts or make mistakes and therefor waste the whole 140,- build
2. I would love to try and create a "damaged version" if I can tweak some parts
3. well I am seriously scared I will *** it all up....
