[QUOTE="Jannie Groenewald, post: 4463388, member: 74203"]Good evening Had this for a couple of years. A very ugly cast lamb...or is it? If one look inside one can see its true beauty. This is a metal mould for a vintage/antique rubber toy lamb. The prosses used to make this is super interesting. First a lamb was cast in a low melt metal (zink, lead?) Using the lost wax method. This sculpture was then plated with copper and then heated up to melt out the lamb leaving behind a mould. Hopefully one day I will be able to make a silicon lamb. Any ideas are welcome. I am not sure where and when it was made. Groete Jannie [ATTACH=full]385355[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385357[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]385358[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
