More model informationBronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and often also contains lead or zinc. It is strong and durable but can also capture the fine, complex detail within a casting mould. The term ‘bronze’ is often used for other metals, including brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.
There are two basic methods of casting a bronze. Sand casting is a simple technique that uses moulds made of compact, fine sand. Lost-wax casting is a complex process using wax models.
In the ‘direct’ method, the original wax model is used and therefore destroyed. In the ‘indirect’ method, plaster moulds are taken from the original wax. These can then be reused many times.
