Casting advice:

Use 4 clamps instead of two (or use more elastic bands than normal). Space the clamps on the upper and lower quarters of each side of the mould when securing the mould. Venting should only be needed if you are not using Model Metal.
When venting you may need to drill a 1.5 mm hole through the mould at certain points. On the reverse side of the mould (the plain side) where the hole comes out you can add a channel upwards if you choose to, but as long as you have placed the rough side of the support board against the mould the air should be able to escape safely.

We recommend our scalpels because you need an extremely sharp blade to properly vent a mould.

History:

The 51st regiment was raised in 1757 in the north of England, and was stationed on the continent the year after. In 1759 at the start of the Seven years war it was part of the main allied army under the Duke of Brunswick. In August that year it took part in the battle of Minden, where the British infantry successfully repulsed the French cavalry and forced them to retire. It took part in other battles during the next two years, namely Corbach, Clostercamp, and Vellinghausen.
