Volunteers are Pouring in.
Literally being poured in, from molten recruit to uni-formed soldier in no time at all.
I chopped down a spare Ft Henry Guard shako to make a kepi.
Tomorrow, the officer hits the rubber.

Most interesting!
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw a second face on the sprue!
ReplyDeleteThey do say "two heads are ..."etc
DeleteNice pun, and nice figure! I can't seem to access your "My Rules" link. Can you help?
ReplyDeletehmm can't see anything here except that I removed another of obsolete entries and that most of what is left is also out of date. Really do need to spend some time tidying up pages in general and rules in particular.
DeleteHowever, I don't see any reason that you can't bring up the page. Do get an error?
The actual page address is: http://gameofmonth.blogspot.com/p/a-list-of-links-to-various-rule-sets.html
Beautiful casting. I have a recent shiny old style Britains Fort Henry mascot handler that is in this style.
ReplyDeleteI've seen pictures of that set, very nice.
DeleteMy goat that came in the original set didn't have a handler and it would seem a bit of an insult to give him one after 50 years of service.
What metal do you use for casting ? - old figures etc ?
ReplyDeleteYes, etc. Mostly I arrive on a stock of casting metal I bought in 2005, equivalent to the standard PA metal not the wonderful model metal.
DeleteHowever, I do supplement it my supply with recycled figures.
Raw recruits - soon to be licked into shape. nice to see theses sort of shots, which surprisingly don't crop up that often in the blog world.
ReplyDeleteHomecasting is a big enough hobby to notice but homecasting wargamers are comparatively rare, ones who make their own masters and moulds are even rarer.
DeleteWhere are you heating your metal?
ReplyDeleteFMB
We have an old sun (sic) porch attached to the house and I have a small workshop set up in it. Much better than the woodshed which I used to use.
DeleteNothing like a good bit of Homecast- well done! Should paint up nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think so and the castings seem fairly clean.
