CASTING GUIDE: (requires casting equipment & mould not included but available in my ebay shop)
1. Apply release powder to both mould halves evenly.
2. Gently clap the moulds together to remove excess powder.
3. Add the two support boards to the sides of the moulds and hold firmly together with the metal clamps.
4. Melt metal in the casting ladle. Use a worn match to check that the metal is at the correct temperature. If the match smokes lightly when placed in the metal it means that it is ready to pour.
5. Pour carefully into the mould holes and tap lightly to settle metal.
6. When cool (5 minutes), open the mould and bend the mould away from the figure to remove it.
7. Clip away any excess metal off the figure and base, file to keep base flat. Polish with a wire brush.
8. Your figure is ready to paint. We advise undercoating it first and varnishing it when finished painting to protect it.
