Anyone know of a company or someone that does small quanity brass investment castings nowadays. I need to have a dozen dome covers made for a tank car modeling project. I have styrene master to work with.
Thanks

Did you make your master appropriately oversize to account for shrinkage?
If not, you would be better off making your own resin parts, MicroMark has kits to do this.
You can also expect to pay several hundred to thousand dollars for the run of parts.
