Having got 2 of the required 3 companies of the French Regt. Castellas done , I thought it was time I painted up some command for them.
Hmm ! I could have picked easier flags to paint !
On the casting front the foundry is moving into the 21st century , my wife has been heard muttering darkly about how she hopes the camping gas stove will be cleaned up and ready for our Spring camping trip . Oh dear ! - I had better start renovating it NOW ! . This combined with the problems I have been having with it in the cold weather spurred me on to purchase a electric hotplate cheap off EBay . In initial tests it seems to perform well , so marital bliss is restored !.
Splendid looking chaps! Spring cleaning in February? Yikes ... Jeff
ReplyDeleteThink I will be postponing it till warmer weather !
DeleteGreat looking figures. It must be really satisfying to cast up your own figures. I wouldn't know where to start!

Takes practise but is easier than you think - some molds are easier to cast than others - The Prince August website is a good place to start.

ReplyDeleteCasting on stoves always does a mess, I started in the kitchen, but after having ruined the surface, I went to the basement.. calm down your wife, you are an artist - she has to tolerate!..:-)
