While shopping for some mould release spray I came across some aluminium powder and wondered, what if I made some castings with this in for those who like metal effect and like to add paint chips?

Your thoughts please.

The powder claims to give the mix a more metal look and feel whilst adding to the weight and strength of the casting

Do you know if this Haya representation is more dimensionally accurate than the Vandra offering?

[Exhibitedbrute]

Mr gunner I can’t really say as I haven’t seen the vandra kits, I have been told by people that have both that the haya version at the time was the better version, but it was never really a kit, from what I under stand it was more of a plug and play conversion.

I have gone through the moulds made a few parts now and so far I haven’t found anything that doesn’t look right, on the grant at least

Looks like it have different proportions than Vandra kit.

Well there is something I have noticed in that photo, mine is completely different, mine has the hatch at the front vandra has the vision port, after some research I found the lee with just the port but all grants have the hatch that I can see

More photos, the grant turret didn’t go so well because the mould wasn’t level, but otherwise it’s ok

Thanks lads

I asked because Louis found many dimensional mistakes with the Vandra kit.

[Kaczor]

Turret is still too small as in Vandra kit

The Lee turret?

The Lee turret?

Yes. At least in comparison with wonderful @lmcq11 build.
