Hi everyone!
I have a sword which I've sculpted, molded, and cast in resin. I've had a few people express interest in getting a metal version of the sword and wanted to know if anyone here has experience with working with a 3rd party company to make a few copies of a prop in metal. I don't have the setup or experience to cast something this big on my own, so I'm looking to outsource this and get an idea of what kind of cost I might expect.
The sword is 48" long and would need to be able to withstand the heat of a firepit. I'll post a build-thread of the sword in the coming days, I just keep putting it off. Additionally, the sword has a very "battered" finish so I wouldn't need to do much to clean up any castings short of grinding any flashing off
Any experience / advice for pursuing this? I've looked up the number of a local foundry and thought about starting there
Thanks,
Auram
