The second mould set was as easy as the first one. So I am making it short.
Two hints:
1. The large openings normaly need some time to cool down. If you open
the mould to fast it can happen that the a part of the material is still
liquid. Don't be to hasty.
2. I forgot this the last time : Drill a little hole through the moulds where the noses of the soldiers heads are. This helps to sharpen the contours of the faces.

| A failure |
 |
| Drilling a little hole through the nose. |
 |
| And voilá, the face has conturs. We can't easily add a nose but we can shorten one if it is to long. |
Here are views of the three moulds:
 |
| I expected the ramrod to be difficult here. But no... |
 |
| ...the outline of the cuff was the problem. Drill a little hole to the outside so that the air can move out of that dead end and all is fine. |
 |
| A soldier with a water bucket. |
 |
| And the officer was also no problem. |
Next will be the gun.
