I was thinking of creating some of my own, what is the level of difficulty?

Does anyone here make their own molds?

I'll have to order some of his molds, I'm trying have a variety of figures that I produce. I also had the idea of creating some of my own figures by converting other figures for the master. But the creation of a new mold looks a little tricky. I guess I'd have to give it a try and see what happens.

I just added a few more figures to what I mold; GREEN FORCE TOY SOLDIERS 100 TOY SOLDIERS IN A FOOT LOCKER www.greenforcetoysoldiers.com 1635 N Riverside, McHenry IL 60050 Email gene9156@netzero.net 54mm Metal Figures Kits All figures are 54mm in size (unless specified) Prices are for...

Any opinions on these molds or the company? I think they are fairly new? http://www.dunken.com/

I noticed that, perhaps you could trim the mold. Though when I saw it, i figured that it was something that could also be worked out in the painting process.

I own quite a few Lil Army Molds. I just bought the wwii paratrooper If anyone is interested, I'm also selling the molded Paratrooper unpainted for $5.50 http://www.dutkins.com/catalog/photos/la/3018.jpg

Very nicely done!

I recently decided to link to Amazon.com as an affiliate, so I have the ability to offer many more product lines via my website at http://www.greenforcetoysoldiers.com I now sell Britains Forces of Valor GIJoe Ultimate Soldier And MORE!

Thanks for all the input. It kinda gave me an idea as to where start!

Sure, I'll need to snap some digital photos, give me a day or so to do that.

I know, I do conversions too. At one point I used to say; "I would never cut up a figure"! Now I can't look at a plastic figure without seeing what it could be! As I'm sure you have already figured out, I'm a collector and wanna-be dealer. Though I'm only using the dealer part to fund the hobby...

I wanted to solicit some input from the board members here. I have many hand painted figures in both plastic and metal. A majority of the figures that I have, were relatively inexpensive for me to obtain, as I mold many of the metal ones myself, and I find inexpensive plastic figures to...

The trend is kind of obvious, there are more collectors of matte finished figures, because there has been a movement towards more realistic displays and dioramas. Everyone wants to have museum quality in their collection. I have both myself, but I paint in matte, and do very few traditional type...

I recently acquired a metal mold for a small pine tree.It is basically two dimentonal on a stand. It stands about 3" tall by 2 1/2" wide. It would work great for 45mm figures, and would be a small tree (sapling) for 54mm figures. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance. I'm going to be...

I also forgot to mention that you can also post at Sarges Toy Soldier Board too at; http://sargetoysoldier.proboards22.com/index.cgi We don't get as much traffic over there, but more exposure is always better.

Yes they are correct, it is going to take some time. From what your saying, it does not sound like there anything really that old. Many collectors cherish the early figure like Gray Iron, Barclays etc etc. Early plastics collectors most certainly cherish Marx products. But no matter what you...

I assume your talking about the postings at Sarges Toy Soldier board. I totally agree, great minds must think alike, because this crossed my mind last night as I was looking at some of the pictures. Sarges Board http://sargetoysoldier.proboards22.com/index.cgi

By the way..have you ever molded in pewter?

OK, I'll have to work with it. Of course rubber molds are far superior. I bought some metal ones to increase the variety of figures that I can produce. But they are tough to use sometimes. By the way, I was surprised to hear that the ceramic cup exploded. I do some historic reenacting and I know...
