Wax modeling and casting of our models!

This is a very interesting Roman buckle from Cortesia Vindonissa Museum! There are two lines in the front curve (this is done to give more strength to the buckle). These two curved bands with little space between them makes it unique!
Width of the buckle is 52 mm.

My wax work on this model.

There are two lines in the front curve (this is done to give more strength to the buckle).

I understand that statement when talking about a formed (e.g. hammered) one, but don't understand this comment for your casted one, as in this case it seems to make little sense to me.

Jvrjenivs from experience I know that the cast metal surfaces in different levels is more difficult to bend it.
But it is possible that the ancient craftsman made this buckle with these two curved bands because of.. beauty.

My old project on which I workedPugio frogs with plate from Cortesia Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum - Mainz-D) First Century AD.On the original can be seen that there are additional ornaments (grape leaves) ,but image is not clear enough!
It is clear that the details were tinned. But maybe during the restoration tin coverage is removed.

If someone has a qualitative picture of this detail or similar I'll be grateful if he will share them with me!

From two years exploring the wide variety of cincvlvm apron studs I decided to recreate those examples from the original! Can be fitted with copper or brass rivets .

There are different variations of this model, casted or stamped .Attached with rivet or with pin. Tinned or just from bronze.

For their preparation, I use several iron matrix and ..a big hammer !

First I cutting off the brass sheet “rings preparations” 5 mm thickness ,25 mm diameter .

[Rado]

Then I slam the very umbo elements (using a different instrument). After that follows a long process of cutting, shaping and polishing.

There are different variations of this model, casted or stamped I make a rivet version!On the picture above is clearly visible the open rivet.
