Got these figures I cast up a couple of weeks ago finally finished , so this gives 'Red' Army two gun crews , this means I have to cast some up for Army 'Blue' to even things up . They are of course Prince August 54mm .
I've also been playing about with the metal mold I got and have managed to get these done . They are 40mm semi-flats and are French Infantry . Found the trick with metal molds is the hotter the mold gets the better the casting , totally different than the rubber molds which start to distort if you don't let them cool down whilst casting . Need to clean these up and based ready for painting .
The French infantry have come out really well, nice looking figures.
ReplyDeleteYes I started getting good results once the mold had go very hot - gloves were worn !
DeleteBeautiful paint job on the artillery crew Tony, they look great!
ReplyDeleteThe French infantry look to be very detailed and should paint up quite nicely!
Thanks, looking forward to getting them painted
