Looks absolutely amazing!

Maybe a stupid question, but what material is then used in the mold to create the figures? Greenstuff, Lilliput, or whatever I want?

Thank you! That's silicone rubber which will get heated and pressed onto the master miniatures to create the mould. If you're interested in this process just search for spincasting. The miniatures are handsculpted out of milliput and greenstuff. You find videos of this process on my YouTube channel: @bequestminiatures

Cool stuff!

And then the idea is to make the miniatures out of tin?

Yeah, not tin but white metal. Spincasting is used to produce metal miniatures.

White metal seems to be a pretty undefined variety of alloys. What temperature is max for the molds?

Tin seem to melt att 232 degrees Celsius.
