Recently i discovered "The Dresden Files" and there are some cool props in the show. I wanted to make accurate copies of Bob's Manacles which i finished last week.
I started with the sigils that were posted in an old thread on a syfy forum, but after checking out screencaps from a 720p rip of the show i noticed they needed to be made more accurate.
when the graphics were done, i saline etched them in a strip of aluminium and (with a plastic ring) made a bracelet master. A 2 part mold was made and pewter copies were cast. The castings were cleaned up with sandingpaper and steelwool. I chemically aged the bracelets with ferric chloride which also makes the sigils stand out a bit. The pieces were cleaned up again with a scouring pad and have a nice old look, which will tarnish more over time.
combined they nearly weigh 400 grams and i am very happy with the result
Thanks for looking
