This worked so well last time, I thought I'd try it again. Looking for the above part for the top of a scale flag pole. I'll be painting it gold so the chrome doesn't need to be perfect.
Thanks guys.

Flagpole? FLAGPOLE?!? We allowed to talk about flagpoles in this forum? I can make you a resin copy of this item: if it suits your purpose. FMW

That would suit me to a T. Sorry, couldn't resist. Is that 1/24 - 1/25 scale? Looks bigger than that in the pic.
Thanks.

It's 1/24. It just looks huge 'cause I finally figured out how to make the macro focus mode work on my camera. As long as I'm making a mold, how many would you like?

You are the best Jan. Thanks fo offering me that option. Since its got fragile wings, how about two? One as a back up. If you need anything like decals drawn up, let me know.

I'm heading out of town on Saturday and won't return until late Wednesday, so no rush. Thanks Jan.

Here's what I've done so far. I'm not really happy with them, but if you want them they're yours. If they're not up to your requirements, I'll make another mold and give it another shot. FMW

Thanks for your efforts Jan. They're greatly appreciated but i think those are a bit rough. If its not too much trouble, could you try again?

If you can wait, sure. Like I said, these didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

I made a new mold and got a couple of decent castings out of it before it tore. One is nice & even has BFM stuck to the back (part of the mold making process). The other has good detail, but I got the resin mix a little off so it is flexible rather than rigid. Both should be useable with proper trimming (they both have serious flash). I tried to take pictures, but good photos of clear plastic parts that small seem to be beyond my capabilities. Now we just have to figure how to get them to you.

As of this moment, I have another commitment. If you PM me your address, I can put them in the mail. I think they're small enough to survive, especially the flexy one.
