Available Models
If you want to try your hand at painting models from vintage moulds but are not quite ready to start pouring your own, I totally get it. While getting started pouring your own models is not super expensive when compared to other hobbies you really do need an open/outdoor space to get started if you want to pour metal. Working with melted lead does require caution.
You can find models from these and other moulds occasionally on eBay. however, I would recommend painting "new" pours rather than older models that may have been poured years ago. I think the paint will stick better and the ones from the early pours may be more valuable if left in their original state!
Below, models from some moulds from my collection that are available for sale. Simply click on the title and you will be taken to the page for that model. The list below will periodically change based on my collection. You will also find that some of these pages include a paint guide as well. Using paints from Vallejo I am creating paint guides that are free to use whether you buy the model from me or not. Enjoy! Shipping & Return Policy Here.
