So I just had my first exposure to drop casting today and whoo-wee was it fun!  :icwudt: For those who may not know, drop-casting involves pouring molten metal into a mold which contains a cavity carved in a certain shape and then allowing it to cool and solidify. Pewter is a "white metal" which means it has a very low melting point(450 F - 575 F) and hardens very quickly. It's something I've been wanting to try for a very long time and I'm pleased with the results. Still a little sprue cleanup to do but done for the most part.

 

Note: The pendants are not flawed the holes are meant to be there. I wanted them to have an organic or eldritch look to them, originally vining plants but the channels weren't deep enough and it changed into something I found much cooler.

 

Lemme know what y'all think!

Thanks! ^^ This is the first time I've been able to try it properly. I've been studying metalworking for years and I'd like to eventually become a professional blacksmith.

Thank you! Yes I hope to improve significantly, I'd like to start casting some miniatures next.
