I have a friend who does alot of work on scale models. He uses some kind of a
porcelan or plastic(?) to make parts. Some time ago, he made a mold of one
of my NOS buttons, and made several repros. Only bad thing is that this
material is a ivory shade, so buttons are white. Paint does not last long on
these.
However, they are REALLY durable! These buttons have been on an UR that had
the crap played out of it for 2 years. It was on route at a movie theatre for
a long time, and the buttons were installed when "Episode 1" was in the
theatre. They still look and work great on this machine. Virtually no wear!
If anyone is interested, I can take some pics. I don't think it would cost
alot for him to make more.
