Cast Pewter Bits

Cast bits are made from pewter and feature fine detail and dimensional relief. Check out our Finishing Brochure-BR2 for detailed information on easily polishing and finishing castings.

Cast Pewter bits are more dimensional and rounded than Etched Metal bits, and do require some finishing. Some people prefer them because the metal is softer and somewhat less prone to accidentally scratching a model. They can also be reshaped and refined to suit.
