28mm SYW Sculpt & Cast (MK2) - first metal

 The MK2 moulds have been made and I got the chance to do a first casting session yesterday.  I made the moulds carefully to avoid any 'bubble' problems and added plenty of air vents. I was pleased with the result of the first off castings  - nice cleanly cast figures without much prep work needed.

The cannon in the picture are from AW iminatures, now could I make a mould for a cannon ? (plus a limber as well) - something to think on 

The four new moulds will be used to cast figures for 
  • building up the Saxe-Jarlsberg army (based on Brunswick)
  • replacing old gun crews for Wittenberg & Monrovian artillery.
  • updating part of the Wittenberg army - replacing some of the older units.
