Hello everyone. I have a quick question for you.
I am making a halftrack for my army and I curently have the base construction done out of foam core board. I am thinking it is to weak so i would like to cast it so it is more sturdy and i cand drill, poke, and prod at it. I have made silicone molds before and didn't have much trouble with them but they are expensive to make and it would be a wast to make a 10" long mold with $30-$50 worth of silicone. Anywho I was wondering if anyone knew any cheap materials out there that I could make a cheap simple mold of this halftrack. I only need 1 copy of it, but wouldn't mind if i had more so i could make more variations.
Help and if you have any tutorials of the product in use they would be apreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hot glue?

Thanks. That is a great idea, but i'm not sure how well that would stay together on a big scale unless i really layered it. I will add that to my favorites though. It is very smart and will work well for little things im sure!

This is wghat i'm making or this is the basic peice i need to mold. it is largeish. Each square is .25 inches squared.
