    I do like the design. I'm not familiar with the polymer clay. I'm fond of pewter for such items.

    Pewter is an alloy of Lead and is no longer used. Brittania metal or "lead-free pewter" is what is used today.
    I have done lots of castings and it's not too difficult but the wife says I can't set up a Bessemer forge in the basement.


    If this cap badge is a success there is always a chance I can send one off to the makers of Clan Crests and ask a run to be made.

    I have contacts that have already quoted me reasonable prices. Perhaps we can pursue that option in the future.
