Resin & Pewter Casting with Resin Molds & Spin Casting

Ornamental Castings manufactures scale models and components for the modelling enthusiast. They use advanced spin casting techniques for pewter casting of fine detail model parts. Low melt pewter casting metails are poured into a rubber mould which is spun at high speed forcing the metal to flow into all parts of the pewter casting mould. All types of detailed model components can be made in this way and you will end up with a high quality pewter casting which can be glued, painted drilled and sanded to create a modelling masterpiece.

For larger components which aren't suitable for pewter casting, resin molds are used to create urethane castings. These have just as much detail and can also be glued, painted, tapped and drilled.

Ornamental castings is owned and operated by John Dersch, in Sydney N.S.W. Now in is sixth year of operation manufacturing fine detailed model components in several model areas. Components for model trains, model cars, and model trucks. John started casting model items for his own use in 1990. A range of model railway accessories, Uneek Models in HO 1:87 scale, started the same year. These items were very well received by the Australian model railway enthusiast and now number over 100 items in the range.

Urethane castings cast in resin molds contain high detail and are light in weight. Resin castings can contain large, solid cast pieces with minimal shrinkage and surface distortion.
Ornamental Castings also do brass castings. See the fine details in these axlebox castings.	All Pewter castings along with brass and resin castings can be painted and weathered to create realistic models.
Pewter Casting can also be achieved using one of the many high temperature silicone rubbers which can be found here without the need for a spin caster but it does slow the process down and is more difficult with ultra fine parts.
