That came out really nicely. Does the whole mold rotate at low speed to keep the resin from settling during the early part of curing  or does it spin faster to centrifugally to force the resin into the pattern?

I was planning on making 10 kits for the first run, and see how that goes.

The mold only rotates around 5 rpm.  It took me quite a while to figure out the right rotation speed & resin viscosity (I'm thickening it with micro balloons), but now I'm getting consistent castings out of it.

 Wow I really like the overall project but the trucks and couplers top it off very nicely!
