Avengers Thor Hammer Mjolnir from scratch (sintra)

Hey guys,
it's been quite a few weeks I had in mind to give a shot to this baby and I finally went at it.

I started making the template of the hammer head, thinking that my usual method would work.

I then found out that making a narrow in the sintra and then bending it would affect sizing of the hammer, so I just cut the single pieces and then worked a 22.5° angle with my sander belt.

That just worked out good so I went on to work on the panels of the head using the same method.

Thor's hammer is pretty easy at the beginning stages with this method. Hard part comes when you need to engrave stuff :( The capstone engraving required two tries before I got it right, but the panels are just impossibile to do by hand.

For the capstone I just made the template, printed it on a sticker and then used a edgy tool to engrave the runes

Here's my first try doing the panel engravings:

I'll have to get them laser cut eventually.
I then went on to cut the holes for the capstone and the handle which I made 3.2 cm of diameter. I'll then use a 3mm thick leather to cover it and make 3.8 as it supposed to me.

The hammer measures a little bit more then the 5 inches x 8 and some as seen in the "profile in history" auction catalog for captain america.

Here are the pics of the mockup

Very nice!

I can completely understand how much of a pain it is to engrave that sort of detail into sintra, lol
 
Little preview of how it should look :D

btw, thanks guys! The panel took me quite a bit but I'm pretty satisfied! Engraved it on wax and then used resin to get a positive, which I'm gonna mold to make 4 casts. Then, after finishing one of the side cap, I'm going to mold that one too in order to have both sides identical.

Then I'm gonna attach them to the main part of the hammer.
Quick question, the handle doesn't seem to have a seam line, so I guess they gave it the leather look, but made in resin. That's how I'm going to do.

Also, looks tinner to me, compared to thor's hammer.
What do you guys think?

It's going to be a big mess, especially for the handle...
Dont' know if I wanna do single rings, paint them and then slip over the handle on every hammer, of if I'll put them on the master and then paint them with masking (which would very time consuming, considering the shape of the rings). But the idea is to offer casts yes ;)
