    Default Casting newbie queries

    I'm thinking of having some pieces cast. Only 10 or so to see how they go down.
    Will be made in sealed lightweight modelling medium, no sprues, about 15g each. I'm considering brass as well as silver. Does anyone have rough idea of the cost I'm looking at?

    I suggest you shop around for prices Lydia, But brace yourself because there will be a charge for copying (and registered mail, unless you can find somewhere to visit personally). Most will do only precious metals such as West one castings, Hatton Garden, which I have used myself, but you can ask about brass.

    Other names I have are Niagra Falls Casters Warwick and A W Wardle & Co Casters Birmingham, who do non precious as well. Dennis.

    thanks Dennis. Will be doing serious research in the new year (once Father Christmas has finished mugging me!)

    There is also Weston Beamor in Birmingham who will cast in bronze.
