Re: Constantine: Lighter Project *UPDATE 16-7-07*

What if next time you lasered it as a negative?

Thanks bro, most of the work was done by you The method i used for cleaning the recessed surface up turned out to work really well. Next time we have to laserengrave something like this, we should do a negative right away and make a resin mold of that, the resin mold can be sanded down and then a resin copy can be made in the resin mold (siliocone moldrelease spray turned out to work great in preventing the resin mold and casting resin bonding to eachother.)

Ok, small update:

just one more mold away from the coins with smooth recessed areas, will look really good.

Also started to build up the master of the lighter itself. As you can seen there's some areas and seams i still need to fill and edges to round off. Also working on a better extended zippo lever.

For now, enjoy this pic of the 90% finished lighter

Currently smoothing out the edges of the body and the lid, nearly done there. Then i'll do the final extended tilting lever and cast the smoothed out coins and we are good to go on both the resin kits and getting the pieces cast in brass by the foundry. Really close on finishing this damn difficult piece, people

Re: Constantine: Lighter Project *UPDATE 8-1-07*

I can't remember if I asked this already but will we be able to buy the medals alone cast in brass? What's the diamter of just the medal?

the medals can be bought on ebay, if you are just looking to buy a similar medal (although the measurements are different).

I doubt i will sell the coins seperately.

cheers,

Re: Constantine: Lighter Project *UPDATE 8-1-07*

Been looking through the thread again, but couldn't see if this had been asked before... so sorry if it has. But the price for the brass ones are just for the casing... or is it for a fully functional lighter?
