Ryan STA replacement plastic parts

Thread Starter

A Sig Ryan STA brotherhood member was in need of a set of the plastic formed parts that came with the kit, which is no longer in production. I took pity on the poor dude and made plaster molds of the parts so I could pull a set through my ther****rmer. So, I have the molds and can pull new parts. Please PM me if you're interested. All of plastic parts except the cowl and pants, which are available through Fiberglass Specialties.

Pretty well, but some larger parts are taking a long time to dry. It's cold in my shop, brrrrr. I finally put some of the molds in the oven, that helped. Once dry, I can level the backs and glue on a mounting block for a stand off. There are 23 molds with some parts using the same mold 2x. I didn't know you were so anxious! I thought you were deep into a Pittts build?

Not so much anxious as peaked interest of the parts. See without your kindness I would have had to make them from glass by hand. I use clay to make the part in place with glass. Very time consuming and tedious, then have to add the details to the surface. And as for the Pitts it is being covered and will be ready for paint in the next week or so. After the Pitts I have a TF Giant scale Corsair to finish up, so I'm not in any hurry at all. Just real interested in how the parts will turn out.</p>
