Correct, but that would be normal casting. I checked with my friend and it's combination of preasure/vacuum casting, and model is from hss steel (used for tools) and the cost of making that model would be around 700$ ,but then I can use it practicaly unlimited time, so I cover my cost at less than 100 blocks. Which at that price shouldn't be to hard.
Anyway first I must finished my last 50days in the army and than I'll have a lot more time to play with this.
