Homecasting


Homecasting is the hobby of making your own soldiers by using molten metal or plastic and molds.  It takes military miniatures a step further, because you start and complete the entire process.  You begin with a molten substance and turn it into the semblance of a military figure.  The home-based hobby is quite unlike a commercial enterprise, and so lends itself to many individual touches.  Homecasters are more likely to use their figures as the basis of original works.

For the art of homecasting ,we have assembled this section.  More articles will be coming as we expand it.
