Made the mould box for the engine. Since the left and right sides are different I will need to make 2 different masters.

I have poured the mould compound for the engine, rear reactor section and the turkey feathers. This RTV rubber is a lot different from what I have used before and is slightly clear which is not bad to check for air bubbles in the moulds

Well when I pulled the casting the second one was mixed with the wrong mixture as the resin cured too soft and was flexible. This called for a 3rd casting which was off center and also soft. Later on it hardened up but I had to do a 4th casting which turned out OK also
