I was wondering if anyone has ever tried casting M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in metal...Aluminum, copper etc. And if so, how successful was it?

I know a few people that have done metal figures, even Mishka did a metal class keychain. It's not very cost effective.

A guy named Patrick Gresham made some custom pewter M.U.S.C.L.E.s some years ago. I got a pewter Satan Cross from him:

Any way to get ahold of "Mishka" and maybe ask for some tips on the process used? I might try this if I get a small forge made. It's definitely cold enough weather to do now.

You're not cool enough to get ahold of Mishka. None of us are. :p

 

Anyway, the closest I've ever come to this have been a few 3D-printed steel offerings: Mazinger Z, Saucer Animal Gin Gin, and of course, AshuraShine.

Those are pretty cool sanjeev :good: I think a 3D printed aluminum MoaiMan would be :woot: :yahoo:   Especially anodized in different colors! Or a glow in the dark Cubeman, 3D printed would be awesome too. The Spinshine body I bought from you certainly is.

Mishka is a Clothing company and I'm sure had it done in factory, not hand made.
