    Jun 23, 2009 - Metal casting in/around/need Washington DC? #1

    Hello,

    I want to make a steel or bronze casting on Mal's hero gun from a cheap plastic replica and wanted to know if anyone knows of somewhere around the Washington DC area were I could get this done or that just has the equipment so I might be able to help with this operation?

    I can provide the scrap metal but I will need help with making a sand casting of this gun.


    PS. Would it be easer to make a wax copy of this gun and form the sand around it? If my understanding is right, the wax would evaporate (maybe?) as the hot metal poured in. Is that right?

    Thanks!!
