Hmm . . . I wonder if it was "master" not the "mold"? A rubber mold can only last for relatively few pours. Then new molds are created (multiple times, as needed) from a master pattern. But if the master pattern is damaged then no new molds can be made. If Bob was only making kits from a single mold then he would only be making probably less than 50 kits of one type. Unless he discovered some amazing RTV rubber material which will produce hundreds of castings without degradation.
On the other hand, if anyone on the planet had developed a more sophisticated mold, it would be Lunde. Whatever his/their process- the final product is superior to most injection molding- and often even thinner.
I have ordered the last half a dozen of Lunde Studio's buildings directly from their website. Their website is just as easy to use as any online store - no reason no to order direct. Oh, I got the bus depot another way - directly from Bob at a train show he was participating in. That was even better than online ordering - I got to chat with Bob (at no extra charge).
Curious about these ... what are they like to build?
They are good quality resin castings, and they go together well. Here are some older threads about the various Lunde kits (some have photos of finished models).
