Re: Lead Rifle Men
Thanks gents, i found a old instruction sheet on the web that said to use pure lead so tried that again.
Kept the mold reel hot with the small torch and made a tin trough to hold the mold while pouring and got some good results.
Yep persistence pays off most the time.

Re: Lead Rifle Men
Thanks, gave it another try this morn, had to heat on the mold with a propane torch between each pour.
Got some rifles and better detail.
I`m sure my mixture isn`t quite right also.
