Hi Matt, welcome to Big Blue! If you are looking for a how-to, you will find some answers on these sites: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cccrow.com/main-pages/how-to.html">http://www.cccrow.com/main-pages/how-to.html</a><!-- m --> and <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/pcoquet/scratchbuild_article.html">http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/pcoquet/ ... ticle.html</a><!-- m -->. Casting hydrocal is not much of a problem, making the mold is another matther. I used Woddland Scenics Hydrocal for some of my structures and it worked pretty well (you can see them on the first page of my layout thread <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=169">viewtopic.php?f=46&t=169</a><!-- l -->), though to get good results I had to mix 1 part water with 3 parts hydrocal, instead of 1 part water with 2 1/2 parts hydrocal as it says on the package.
