Background

I decided to try my hand at making castings of some of the model rocket parts that I had.  My castings are made of polyurethane plastic and have all the intricate detail of the original parts.  Making castings is not an exact science - especially on hollow parts, like nose cones.  The resin distribution can vary slightly from part to part.  While trying to glue some pieces together once, I found out that polyurethane is resistant to solvents, so plastic cement or plastic welder won't work on it.  I plan to use epoxy whenever attachment to something is necessary.

Here's a list of the rocket for which I've made castings.  Just click on the hyperlink to see the details of each casting.

Check back from time to time.  I've got a few ideas about my next casting project already.
