I would really like to cast and powder coat some lead soldiers for my boys this Christmas. Anyone have molds I could borrow, rent, or buy?
Civil War, WWI, WWII, Revolutionary War, any are welcome. I have the powder to coat them.

I have a pair of old Rapco molds, #6197 and #6086, I dont know how they cast or what alloy was recommended ...

Thanks for the input, guys. I wondered about the fill out with lead. I have a few bars of solder that may do the trick.

Thanks again guys, I appreciate the info you shared before it disappeared. I think I’ve got a mold or two to use. Looking at some on eBay as well.
