Mould update

Mould finished and in use. Sorry about picture quality - bright unpainted castings don't come up well. On the other hand, gives an idea.

Well, they're producing figures.

Missed these on that picture

But the moulds are fragile - this is after about the fifth casting. However, the figures are still useable - just not good!

This is the difference between 'out of the mould' and cleaned up. Just bad flash and cleans up OK. Well, until the mould starts falling to bits around the undercuts.

I've got enough out for 2 units for these - one lot with backpacks as Bavarians, the ones with the blanket as Westphalians. (Whoops, update correction - Wurtemburg! - can't remember where I spotted that pack version, should probably have just done normal backpacks.)

Plus one and a bit units from Brunswick.

Presumed Scots Grey but paintable as a French Curassier - enough figures for a unit of each.

And finally enough figures for a squadron of Russian Dragoons and Russian Cuirassiers. These are both on my painting table ready for processing.

So, final conclusions:
Lousy mould, lousy figure quality, but...
It used well out of date rubber and catalyst, so I was surprised they worked as well as they did. Further, most figures are useable if only just. Had I paid for new rubber I would have considered the break even point to be about 100 figures. So far I've got about 110 out... so mould would have paid for itself. Can't complain about that.
