I must say this casting is quite intriguing. You could in theory using this reproduce some of the old figured scales. Hmmmm.

Unless properly thought out, there can be a shrink factor in the mold materials, the plastic product used, or both. It certainly has been done before. Some trial and error can be expected. That said, good results are possible and...probable!

Richard, I am aware of your vast knowledge and experiences. So when you say possible and probable in the same sentence that is very encouraging. I am trying to stay focused on carving so I am hoping Mike runs with this one.

Thanks for chiming in Richard. As Shaun mentioned, formidable experience you bring to the thread.
Old scale reproduction is definitely part of my long game plans for all this stuff. Fortunately I have a fair bit of injection molding experience from back in my Husky Injection days so am optimistic I can dial in the mold cavities required. None of the scales I intend to try have undercut's or protrusions. Biggest problem, is they seem to have one piece wedges and I don't want to damage them opening them up. Boker, Morley and the like come to mind.
Getting ahead of myself though. One idea at a time.
