Amulet of Doom

[Storm]

Hello,

in order to stuff some of my different original costume from the movie, i decided to make some screen accurate replica of my original amulet used in the movie.
I made some of them before in resina but i was convinced that making them in metal would be really better and a good practise to recreate stuff with the same techniques they used 40 years ago

1- mold Making (mold max 60 silicon, really good stuff who can resist until 300°C, pewter melt at nearly 237 °C , silicon is combined with a vaccum chamber to avoid any air bubble)

2- pewter cast ( i melt pewter object i found as pichet , goblet ... ^^)

3- dremel cleaning / smooth of the edge etc

4- washing of metal to permit a good reaction of the treatment with a special chimical product to dark the pewter

5- metal silver paint brush for the patina surface

6- Lace & gloss

and voilà

Nice work dude, that come out really nice. Mold max 60 is good stuff, I have used it a lot.
Is the original movie one made from metal or is it resin?
I cast my stuff in bronze now, easier to get cleaner casts with the lost wax method.

Thanks, the original one is made of metal too for the amulet
(contrary to the original chest/shield emblem of the doom guard made with a kind of wax)
