Was wondering how I go about getting one of your turret pinions for my build?

Bought it off ebay for $10 shipped. I searched every hobby store in my area and on the net for a pinion gear to fit Panzer. No luck. So I made a gear myself. Took modelling clay and a brass tube to cut clay perfect circle. Then I rolled the clay around the ring gear for proper teeth spacing. Then I made a rtv silicone mold then cast it. Then I too jewelers files and finished up each tooth so it fit perfect. Then I make a final mold for the gear you see in pic and casted it out of Alumilite casting resin. So now if you guys need a pinion gear for the Dragon Panzer you know where to get one.
