-
The Mountford French Saint Etienne Machine Gun and the Swarzlose Machine Gun has also now been cast....The Moulds for the French Crew will be a brand new tooling (Kaputnik "Lost" the original one as he did a great many things....Grrrrr.....
All in a days work, well one afternoon really...Castings for 25Lg gun, Light Limber for 13 Pound gun Medieval figures etc etc....
Closer shot of the Lewis Twin Machine Gun Castings. Casting tiny gun control wheels like the one in picture can be "Frustrating" .....
Mountford. WW2 Eigth Army or Western Europe. British 25Lb Gun Ammunition Limber.
Mountford. British Army 1914 Horse Rider. Will be available as North Somerset Yeomanry option also.
Below. Some of our Large Scale figure kits. 3york" Hussar, Zulu, Bromhead, Red Indian Princess, Napoleonic Infantry and Marshall , etc....there are others too ....including a giant Mounted Lifeguard (Blues ORyals) Medieval Theign, Greek, English Napoleonic etc....There are Dragoons too....and a French Curassier...Prussians.....and ACW.....90MM 85 MM 100 MM 120MM etc
We Inherited a Tooling range and design from A LOT of differrent toolmakers and ages.. This has consequences in workshop casting methods and time taken on certain product Moulds. My Pet hate right now is Spoked Wagon or Gun control wheels....Fine items like Swords Bows Daggers Helmets Heads and Reigns no problem at all finaly....
One compensates the irregular rotations, by use of weights, and various home made inventions in the workshop to prevent the worset erratic revolutions..and equaly eratic castings Ahemmmm
I will be posting more later on. I am lining up some special offers for opening time customers as well, its first come first served, the "specials" are a one off so when its gone its gone. Cheerio for now....
And Georges Guynemers famous "Mount" Veille Charles" (Old Charles, a famous French World War One Bi Plane in METAL. Guynemer claimed 53 Victories at age twenty Two
Everything pertaining to the Medieval series gets done, including a Chess set or two...and Arthur and the Round Table. Robin of Loxley puts in a strong appearance along with that dreadful man "Derano" the Sheriff....Tuck John Little, Marion and many more...
I have cast several Mountford Kits, the 13/18Lb gun, its Ammunition Limber, the British 25Lb WW2 Gun and its Limber, Army Riders and Horses and yes, the "Germans"The RHA Ceremonial Gun Crew a la Hyde Park, and Twin Lewis Navy M Guns too.....
Rosedale. One finds a Hussar Pelisse, a Shako and a American large scale Indian in the SAME tooling and two or even Three scales....then a large scale Prussian head.....interesting technique !
Some of the Toolings turned out to have NEVER been used, and some "overused" . Uniquely, Rosedale requires workshop to cast EVERY tooling in the series in order to get enough parts to complete everything here. Alain and Dale designed them that way aparently.
All in a days work. Lots and lots of fresh castings now stocking up. We even got Elephants and Palm Trees and a Hedgerow.....
Just a small fraction only for todays eyes.....ITS COMING ! @@))))
The Wee Fairey style Chess Castle is cute. We cast up several Chess Sets we found amongst the Toolings. Amazingly we found we had ALL the pieces theres a "first" lol....We got the choice of several "Kings" andQueens too.....they cleaned up very well and quickly too....
The former owner had labeled this Moulds as (Ready? Wait for it? Ready?) WINDMILL.....sniff Looks like Air Screws to us....heh
Ive cast the Mountford Twin Lewis Machine Guns and Crew (Navy in White Pullovers and Sea Boots).
We have King Arthurs Round Table in 2 different versions. One where you can choose and soudre or cement the shields on separately, or version 2 with Shields already moulded as shown here.
