....is reckoned to be pretty good, only up to 62C though

Lots of the same stuff on ebay

would it be cast-able?

62degrees = far enough...

Morph-Plast is moldable plastic, I've made knobs and buttons with it. There are also modelling clays like Fimo and Sculpy that you bake in the oven after you've shaped them. Faber make Fimo so it should be pretty widely available. It depends how big the parts are that you want to make.

If you go onto the CFS website they've got various casting resins and mould making solutions

Polymorph turns into a plasticine type dough at 62° and can be mouled by hand but not poured. Polyester casting resin (resin C) can be poured into a mould. fibreglass suppliers will sell it.

You are right, but i don't have any type of mould yet. also he didn't sold it me yet.

I think that you want to use Resin.

In the model world the cost of tooling up for a injected plastic kit is huge. small manufacturers use resin as a low cost alternative. make a copy of what you want in say balsa (easy to use) and than use a rubber compound to make the mould and then cast the final shape in resin
