The Napoleonic Wars (1803-15) were a series of wars declared against Napoleon's French Empire by opposing coalitions. As a continuation of the wars sparked by the French Revolution of 1789, they revolutionised European armies and played out on an unprecedented scale, mainly owing to the application of modern mass conscription. French power rose quickly as Napoleon's armies conquered much of Europe but collapsed rapidly after France's disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812. Napoleon's empire ultimately suffered complete military defeat resulting in the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France.
This product has a mould that can cast 25mm scale metal figures. This is a black vulcanised rubber two part gravity cast mould that can take temperatures up to 400 degrees celsius.
My second attempt using this mold, having vented, using Model Metal and on a warmer day - much more successful. I had to stop pouring into the officer and drummer holes and concentrated on the man advancing, just to balance out the men being made.
My first attempt with this mold today, using a mixture of metal and with no venting. Not very successful, but I have now vented and am waiting for an order of Model Metal from Northern Smelters. Plus it was cooling while I was casting, so the next attempt will be on a warmer day and with Model Metal. The officer figure is 25mm foot to eye.
