Here Come the Confederates

.


Okay,

so remember last time when I estimated that my remaining 14 pounds of pewter would net me 140 soldiers?

Well, after four casting marathons I used up that 14 pounds of pewter and got...




140 soldiers.

Once I collect all of the flash and filings I might be able to eke out one more.


I'll keep you posted.

Soldier on!

Mannie

p.s.

This was a pair of (very thin) pewter candlesticks.  This is where cheap casting pewter can come from.
