End of life rubber. Yikes!

I saw this on ebay and it made me cringe. Look at all those molds with huge unsupported overhangs and spillover from the second part of the mold bonding to the first layer. The HO stuff is not so bad, but the N? Yikes.

A few pretty unique items.  Those CN/CP wedges would be nice.

I've got the N scale Brandt rail truck he does - it's a bis flashy around the edges, but otherwise a really good casting.  One of these months I'll get around to finishing it.

His molds were getting pretty worn out but I have a pile of his castings and, like Phil said, other than some flash they are very good and unique.

P.S. Scott; I've got his Angus Shops Plow kit and I won't be using it. If you're going to Calgary for Supertrain in April I could meet up with you there!

Interesting. I don't know much about molds, but they look like they might be worth buying to make one casting from which to make a new mold.
It's quite the creative way to get rid of old molds rather than just trash them.

Thanks Mike, but I'm stuck out in Ontario...

I've watched some of his plows on eBay. His painting is horrid, but the models themselves look like they could be made to look really good. I am interested in the Jordan spreader.

I won't hold it against you. I know how you feel... my brother works as a piano player in a brothel! We all have our cross to bear.

If you don't mind the added shipping cost I would let it go for $10 plus shipping... PM me.

Ian; I also have the Jordan Spreader that I would let go for the same deal... this casting has some pin hole problems on the floor behind the cab. Nothing that isn't fixable with a little filler... The fella selling the painted ones is not the same guy that was casting them (and I agree that his painting is terrible) and I think that those might even be re-casts!

Better PM me or else "someone" might move the thread to "Trading Post"...

You're then down two generations, and worse for it by using a shot mold. About all the molds are good for is possibly a couple of semi-useful castings, which might be salvageable with a lot of cleanup, or perhaps just the novelty of owning the molds.

This is one of his Jordan's.....

It is the same guy selling badly-painted models as well as worn-out molds, he has a couple different names on ebay. He used to be flaktrap, now he's re-emerged as mad-humungus, due to some issues with copying other people's stuff. He always sells his end-of-life molds. That's where nscaleworld on ebay got the semi-truck models he sells.

I may have made the wrong assumtion but N Scale Customs (the guy selling the painted ones) is located in Florida and mad-humungus is located in Quebec... are you sure about them being one-and-the-same Jim?

[jimmo]

I know that he has consistently made finished models and put them up for auction but it's entirely possible that someone else could be as well. Since he sells kits and worn out molds, it's very likely.
