Hi,
I bought a white metal figure today for my next project. It is 'supposed' to be 1:48. So I bring it home and compare it with the 1:48 Tamiya kits that are going to be in the dio and WOW! the figure is a giant!

I recently read online that you can shrink a model via casting. Something about letting the mold dry out longer or more water in the mix or something. Lost the link. DOH!

Do you know how to achieve this? Thanks.

After a bit of googling I guess what I want to do is have the casting shrink. Can this be done with a resin cast?
 
As it turns out I have the wrong kind of rubber. I would need the silicone based one not the urethane. Hmmm. Not sure what to do. I might have to try to modify the figures I have that are in scale.
