Re: Wax modeling and casting of our models! - Rado - 12-07-2010
It is very difficult to achieve a thin layer of wax.Which will lead to lighter product in bronze. Right here is the secret of good work. To reach a compromise between the thickness of wall.Because the thin walls bear the risk in failure in the metal casting proces.

In designing of this model I am guided by Flavian idea for Capricorn

Hiya Byron
I am so glad you guys like our models which we intend to use as Roman Standards!
It’s been hard for me to materialize from wax my brother’s ideas according our hobby in which I am still new. :oops:
I usually prefer to swap things which have some connection with my hobby but in this wonderful reenacting hobby models are usually in scale 1:1 and they are made from solid and expensive materials like brass bronze or steel and exchanging it’s not that simple!
If someone would like to have some of the things we are doing please write a PM to Rado and he will answer as soon as it’s possible.
Thanks
VALE BENE

2 sets buckle and rivets for pugio scabbard from silver and 1 set from bronze.And my wax work on them.
Re: Wax modeling and casting of our models! - Rado - 12-17-2010
Buckle have many curves with reverse angles that was difficult to me to follow them.
