D8R-thanks a lot-I agree tires can be a huge problem especially when you are not building by the common scales. I did not want to make my own tires but I felt like I had no other options. This is not an easy solution but there is not a lot of work involved just a lot of time. For me making the master part was the hardest job. The mold and tires just require some time & patience. A machinist would probably make the master part from aluminum and you could spray the release directly on that and make the molds. I spent several hours with the finish on the wood part I made so the silicone will release from it. Hopefully in a few days I can see the results of my work.
