Description: Casting another fire ant colony with molten aluminum. This is a fairly small fire ant colony. The aluminum pouring got a little sloppy on this cast and the grass caught on fire, but the cast turned out amazing. Be sure to check out my other videos to see the casting of larger fire ant colonies as well as the casting of a few other types of ant colonies. This is a medium sized cast compared to the other fire ant colonies that I have done. The final cast is 14.8 lbs., 13" at its widest, and 12.5" deep.
