However, doing your own casting is certainly a lot cheaper than buying Commercial figures and can be very rewarding. I was never quite happy with my own Sculptures and castings. My 15mm Dwarfs from Battle Valor games in the USA are superb- and something which I could never have cast by hand. Best Wishes. KEV.KEV.

Never heard of such a thing untill I bought the melting pot and an old hand recommended it. The little hole in it lets the molten metal drip back into the pot leaving the dross behind.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-70979915934753265532018-04-28T13:44:02.610-03:002018-04-28T13:44:02.610-03:00I'm looking forward to finally seeing it paint...I'm looking forward to finally seeing it painted up.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-6357397235588691362018-04-28T13:43:25.431-03:002018-04-28T13:43:25.431-03:00Expand or die!Expand or die!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-14619740712664673372018-04-28T13:42:22.705-03:002018-04-28T13:42:22.705-03:00I dunno, I imagine the smell of hot soup wafting u...I dunno, I imagine the smell of hot soup wafting up from behind enemy lines might be a powerful incentive to hungry attackers.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-33054376872449397772018-04-28T13:40:42.653-03:002018-04-28T13:40:42.653-03:00Very toy soldier!Very toy soldier!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-63977936044658695292018-04-28T13:39:11.285-03:002018-04-28T13:39:11.285-03:00When I bought it I had to add a bonus into the rul...When I bought it I had to add a bonus into the rules but then didn't get around to painting it.
