Thank you, Paul. I have always had trouble trying to visualize the two-part mold process for making a window unit. This helps me greatly. Cheers!!!

Absolutely fascinating! I don't think I could ever do that, but it was great watching a master craftsman. Thanks Paul, for a great video.

I really must give that a try, getting some screens can be difficult and this solves the problem, thank you !

Some just aren't available. I restored a Matchbox #44 GMC refrigerator truck. Window was cracked, (roof was bent) and I would have liked to replace it, but not available by the parts suppliers I have checked so far.

[@Jsellers1965]

Cool! I just made some windshields for my redline T-birds and Cougars. I had an issue with the resin not wanting to harden though and the dye kept going to purple instead of blue. I also made molds with high heat silicone Mold Max 60 and made some hoods from Pewter made with Tin and Antimony. It's tougher than the solder they use for reproduction hoods. I can melt those with a hairdryer, Pewter I can put in the oven and bake the paint. LOL Thanks for the vid, Cheers!

[@PaulRestorer]

Hello, you are right with small forms sometimes there are problems resin may not want to cure you have to mix for a long time. Remember to measure the proportions very precisely. I do it for 10 minutes before pouring. I have no problem with dyes. Best wishes

W porządku, Paul.😁 Ale muszę ci powiedzieć, że zamawianie części zamiennych przez Internet to jedno. Ale robienie ich samemu to sztuka. Pokazuje z jaką radością i "krwią serca" pracujesz nad rekonstrukcją. Miłego weekendu i czekam na następny film. Pozdrawiam Paul. 👍😁

Witam. Ja brakujące szyby modelowałem z wosku dentystycznego, które później zamieniałem na tworzywo akrylowe przezroczyste (tzw. zerówka). Zrobienie nowej szybki na bazie istniejącej, ale zniszczonej jest łatwiejsze. Brakujące części nadwozia typu maska albo drzwi podobną metodą plus później farba. Pełen szacunek dla twojej kreatywności i pozdrawiam.

Gefällt mir immer wieder! Muss ich unbedingt mal probieren und sehen wie schwer es wirklich ist. Kann mir vorstellen das so eine Scheibe dann nicht gleichmäßig dick wird. Das ist sicher eine Herausforderung die richtige Gleichmäßigkeit zu finden.

Vielen Dank mit einer Dicke gibt es wahrscheinlich kein Problem, wenn 2 Teile der Form eine gute Auflagefläche haben. Beste Wünsche

[@Azawakh1974]

Spróbuję wykorzystać te porady przy próbach odlewania oszklenia do modeli samolotów. Może będzie to lepsza metoda niż tłoczenie metodą próżniową.

[@PaulRestorer]

Wydaje mi się że tłoczenie metodą próżniową jest na pewno lepsze ze względu na wagę oszklenia takiego modelu co przy modelach latających jest nie bez znaczenia. Pozdrawiam serdecznie

[@Azawakh1974]

Paul Restorer ja akurat buduję modele typowo redukcyjne i statyczne więc ta waga nie jest najważniejsza.
Ważniejsze jest by oszklenie było bez bąbli powietrza i dlatego proszę o pokazanie jak samodzielnie wykonać pompę próżniową do odsysania powietrza z żywicy. Przyda się to modelarzom majsterkowiczom, którzy zamiast kupować wolą samodzielnie sobie coś odlać albo wytłoczyć.

[@PaulRestorer]

Z tymi bąblami to jest różnie. najprostsza pompka jakiej używałem to oczywiści do małych ilości żywicy to szklana buteleczka z grubego szkła z hermetycznym korkiem. W korku robię dziurkę tak aby wprowadzić końcówkę dużej strzykawki (połączenie musi być szczelne) butelkę napełniam w 75% , zasysam maksymalnie strzykawkę i trzymam , powstaje piana po pewnym czasie, proces powtarzam kilkakrotnie. Są też pompki ręczne po około 130 zł dla warsztatów samochodowych ale ich nie stosowałem. Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Thank you very much. If there is no pattern, then there is no way to make a matrix. You can try to bounce the mold inside the body. But it is very hard and requires a lot of work. Best wishes
