Plaster will not resisit the heat and hold it's form, especially if any fine detail is in those plaque faces. Even pewter will be hot enough at smelting point to hurt the cast plaster.What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

I used to make Armies out of lead using molds.
We would use the original in clay and pout in the lead. Like a household sand casting.
To make a good a product you will probably need to sand cast it IMO.
