Have any of you tried a mold making compound called Hydroshrink that can be used to "scale down" an object such as a model car? Might be useful for "T" ?

One guy on another message board has been experimenting with it for a while to reduce toy cars to 1:87 scale. After you get the material to shrink to where you want it, you'll need to make another mold from it and cast the finished piece in resin.

It's a urethane product that reacts with water.
