These soldiers make up the bulk of line infantry in the 18th Century armies. Firing in a line was a tactic to address the poor accuracy of the muskets used. There were many styles of firing in line to try to maximise the speed and impact of troop fire in battle. After one line of soldiers fire they crouch down to allow fire from their colleagues behind them, while they reload.
The French Regiments, the Karoliners and the Irish Wild Geese are the same vulcanised black rubber moulds. F901, S901 & I901 are the same mould supplied with a label with a picture appropriate to that regiments colour scheme.
You can cast up to 500 castings per hole using Prince August Model Metal. Keep the moulds out of direct sunlight when storing them. Never use water to cool metal in a mould.
This product is not suitable for children under the age of 14.
I bought this mould as my first ever, never having done any casting before. Ihave had to cut a couple of vents to help out, but I am not using white metal, so it probably just needs some extra help to get the molten metal into the nooks and crannies. I am now happily casting the figures in about 5 minutes from cold. The figures look great and my daughter loves them.
