Description

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.

    Different quality of figures

    The 3 figures are of different quality. The officer is worst: Almost no facial features, pointing hand too small, cap has no brim. The backpack might be historical correct, but I cut it off, to give the self conscious officer a cleaner look. The drummer has a better face, but the drum and his hands look strange. Also, the drummer has straps for the backpack, but it is missing from his back. So, I could scrape/cut the straps off the soldier. The soldier with the musket is the best in the mould. I had to vent the middle of the musket with the 1.5 mm hole as recommended and heat the mix of metal to almost 400 C. But then figures turned out ok.

    PA535 Prussian Guard Infantry 1

    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.

    Prussian: Grenadiers of the Guard Set 535

    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.
