Well, besides modelling...the only other industry that comes to mind is the miniature industry, role playing games, historical and such.

I believe white metal is a generic term referring metals with varying amounts of pewter, someone correct me if i am wrong

White metal can also be used for bearings in certain industrial applications.

Actually Dag, white metal refers to metals with varying amounts of lead, aluminium, magnesium and zinc.
