My latex mould worked out well. I've made a couple of wax models out of it but I decided I wanted to make a model out of lead so it would be more solid. My dad's a keen fisherman and makes his own lead weights so I enlisted his help in my mould making quest.
Off we went into the garage and melted the lead in an old battered saucepan over a tiny camp stove. I set my mould down on the floor and watched as my dad poured the lead. I don't know why I thought pouring molten lead into a latex mould would work, needless to say, it didn't! The lead bubbled and spat as it melted away the latex leaving a shiny mirror like puddle on the garage floor. I think this is what you may call an epic fail!
