MOCKY, that is really cool experience.

Wow , Thank you so much guy. This is huge help.

so great I can use Polystyrene . I hear ya on using the wood for the sections but I dont know how I would get them just right. I dont have a model to copy from. So I thought I would just start shaping my Styrofoam and use my good eye and measuring
At my last job the model dept used some kind of foam to shape the machine,keyboard,etc. I though I would have to figure out the name and then wonder if I could afford it since I lost my job in 2008.

This makes for a challenging long build. I normally don't worry about cost and do what I can to do it the correct way, but I'm low on cash. all this building money comes from selling things, sucks loosing my job.

Thank you SO MUCH again !

i have been looking for someone to do that, i have this mold (in plaster done and waiting to be formed.
i made it out of clay first, made a negative then a positive was made from that.
first the clay positive (its a dragons head for the T&E-MAXX series truck)

then made a plaster negative.

i used bubble wrap to release the plaster positive from the plaster negative and to get scales.
the bottom of the next pic is the negative sitting on my maxx
