Hmmm, as I near completion I'm pondering what sort of finish I leave on the hammer. A dull or a shiny silver?
If you watch the video on the making of the actual hammer, it's clearly a very shiny silver base with some weathering done to it:
(start at about 1:00 to see what I mean)

But any shots from the movies show it to be very very dull (but with shiny rings on the handle still, which makes sense):

I'm thinking of going with the dull look for the body of the hammer, since that seems to be accurate to the movies. I'm guessing maybe they redid the paint after the video was made, because there's definitely not a ton of black around the runes as shown in the video either. Any thoughts?
