Damaged Moulds

[lensman]

I was wondering if there were any way of repairing a damaged mould? Although I usually cast with between eight and a dozen moulds at once (so that they don’t get too hot ) only one appears to be damaged and then only in one place. My Traditional Toy Soldier mould has developed bubbles on the arm that holds the rifle causing the arm to come out covered with indentations. I have tried puttying the arms after they are cast but that is a lot of work and I would like to fix the arm if possible. If it is not possible to fix it is it possible to buy that single mould out of the set (one that hasn’t been packed obviously)?

Although the Lebel rifle arm from the Highlanders fits very well on this figure I have bought a couple of dozen heads wearing Pickelhaube and plan on doing up a German army to fight my Brits so I don’t think the Lebel would be appropriate for them.

Any information or suggestions anyone could give me would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

John

We can sell you a replacement mold for a third of the price of a full set. Email me and I will organise the order.

Thanks! I knew there was a reason I liked PA so much!
