I’ve been making miniature gun models as a hobby when I was little but never out of metal obviously because I don’t have the skill to and its too dangerous for a kid. Now I’m thinking about learning art metalcraft to make fully functional rescaled replica of modern firearms for a hobby, but how do I get started on it?
- What classes I need to take or what do I need to learn to make them?
- What metal is easiest to cast and mold and to yield realism along with precise details of the model? Also durability?
- What kind of tools and equipment?

Just any pointers or any information regarding this topic that can help would be greatly appreciated.
Example would be something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esfNu4OzI-4&feature=fvw
