My
interest in making model castles and castle sections began years ago.
It was a natural progression from my model military tank construction and my
later creation of scale model train layouts. I wanted to add a
castle (or walls) to my HO train layout and tried modeling clay. Not only was that too tedious, but I could not create replicas of the original.
I did some research and
came across a web site for C.C. Crow. He provides an on-line
clinic on how to create rubber molds for casting plaster models.
His information is informative and free; his only admonition is not to
copy his original works, but create your own patterns, which I do.
Following Mr. Crow's example, my patterns and brochures are copyrighted.
All patterns are carved
from plaster blocks of USG's Hydrocal Cement. The patterns are
then used to create molds using silicone rubber. The resulting
rubber molds are very durable and can be used over and over to produce
walls and structures.
Castle Stone Models is a business
that was created to provide a convenient, price sensitive means of
supplying to a collector or enthusiast a castle or it's components for
the purpose of scenic or background use in displays.
The advantage of our product is:
-
quality, high
density material that is used to construct original sections that
are common elements in castle construction.
-
unique design
that provides free standing sections that can be used separately or
in various configurations.
-
high quality hand
painted coloring that provides a realistic presentation of castle
stonework.
If you have a unique request
and would like us to consider constructing it for you please contact us.
We can create many different structures. The one exception is
round or circular designs that don't work well with our molding process.
Thank you for your interest
