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 day if successfull enough at this game, we will re make specific toolings to improve speed of production time. Rosedale put for example, ? The Round Table SEPARATE SHIELDS just two IN A UN RELATED MOULD....THINK HOW MANY RUNS TO CAST one TABLE FULL, unwise ; and certain soldier and officer figures...I will re tool to make dedicated Moulds for these annoying occurrences Saves a shed full of time
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

Its the only way to use a few of our rather "special" or older toolings. Its no everything , but i did find a few wee duplicated Toolings Abram never told us anything about.....tut tut....
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....

The Moulds vary enormously however in WEIGHT, Thickness and Density, and every single one has its own UNIQUE centrifugal behaviour inside any Machine. Some alas were BENT upon arrival from N.Z. , one or two LEAKED OUCHHHH but generaly its been FAR BETTER than I initialy feared

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....
