The casting and painting looks good. Are you per chance going to do a post on your casting approach?
ReplyDeleteI have done several posts in the past about casting. To be up front, this mold was a disappointment. I have ordered new casting metal. I am hoping that using more pure metal might improve the casting. Right now I use whatever old figures I have cast in the past for these figures. Perhaps if I have more successful molds I will do another series on casting.
DeleteInteresting to see these figures, not seen these before or your lovely WW2 converted Russians. Like the Frontiersman figure - I'm sure castings of this one will suit your games well.

I got these figures and the Russians, along with a sizable collection of Peter Laing WW2 figures from the same person. I have been working on using block figures, but now that I have opened the rubber I use, I have to start making more molds. The frontiersman figures could be used for right up to, and including, the Civil War. It just dawned on me that it could pass for a Confederate in an overcoat.
DeleteI see what you mean about the semi flat hatman. I have always had a soft spot for Peter Laing figures. The first metal figures I ever had were Peter Laing ECW.
ReplyDeleteThe Highlander in the second photo (you can't really see the figure because of the flash), is also on the flat side. Still, they are a nice addition to my collection.
