The Napoleonic wars took place around the start of the 19th Century and France had some of the most skilled and committed soldiers in the world. These soldiers are Imperial Guard Infantry, Drummer and Officer. This mould set contains three black rubber moulds that allow you to cast three French soldiers in different poses. These 54mm scale metal soldiers will require some assembly and can be glued together easily. They can also be soldered together.

It is important to have the basic casting equipment with these moulds so include either one of our starter kits or Kit 2000. No matter what moulds you have or select you will need casting metal to be able to make soldiers, it is wise to check out Prince August's bulk discounts on metal, the more you buy the cheaper per bar the metal becomes. You should be able to cast two figures, on average, per ingot of metal.

Glue can be bought here.
