Not my car, and not a particularly good photo of a Mantua Derrick Car, but I felt compelled to comment on this thing. I had been watching it on eBay because someone here had posted a photo of one and I thought it looked pretty good compared to the quality and detail of the derrick structure as opposed to the ones produced by IHC or whomever. Anyway . . . the bidding on this thing started at like 99 cents and it sold for $55.00. Crazy.

| I have not seen a derrick car with the grey boom or a grey fence. Who every had this must have painted it. There is a TYCO WM derrick on eBay now.

John,
How do you cast parts? Have you covered your process in these forums. Can you direct us to some information on this subject?
Thanks, John *********************

Well its difficult, the next time, I do make a mold for casting, I think I'm going to video it to post for everyone to see, and narrate it as well.......
It be actually more easily done that way then to try and do it in just words.. seeing is believing.....
