titan or gemini thrusters
I know this is a long shot, but anyone have a plastic estes titan II or gemini titan thruster set i can buy/rent/borrow/bribe in order to cast some duplicates???
i plan on using rubber mold and resin castings..i would like to make exact castings of this in order to clone some of these kits as closely as possible. i am zrs4 on ebay, if you want to see my buyer reputation.. maybe we can make a trade? i have over 200 built 1/72 display models of WWII and cold war airplanes..if you have something you are looking for--or i have electric r/c stuff i can trade also??? ive been keeping an eye on ebay--but the last titan II went for over 100 and i missed it..the titan III thrusters look a lot smaller..what i'd like to get hold of is that cool look of the gemini titan booster thrusters.. |

I'm not real sure what you mean by "thrusters".
Do you mean the engines? I found some 1/72 scale kits. You may be able to scale up the parts. If it's just the engines I could probably fabricate them and some of the rear end detail parts for you to use as masters.

titan nozzles --engine
yes indeed--its the engines --the special look of the engines on the titan . The picture shows my desk model.
the ones on the estes model would be a really nice way for us to cast some using the original mold for cloning..so that would give us the most difficult parts, the nose cone, and plastics for the engine.. the nose cone you make looks more accurate than the original in my opinion sandman for the engines --one casting kit would give about 10-12 sets at least..probably more--im sure it would take me at least a week to get it done just because i have a screwy schedule right now--but i could have the supplies in hand and the parts made within a week.. the weight of resin wouldnt be a problem because they are for display only.. if i dont find any --i will just wait for another titan II to show up on ebay..my heart is set on the ones from the kit because of that certain look that they have. |
