Sure thing. I will be posting more updates in my thread through the weekend.

So last night I prepared my mold for part 2 and poured part 2. Here are some pics:

 
Re: Darkside501st's Wolverine Claws Run

Ok guys, here is an update.

Over the weekend I cast my claws and made the grips then molded & cast them. I really like the metallic powder! It is embedded in the surface of the resin and you can get all sorts of effects by varying the color and shade of the resin. So I used different shades of grey until I found the shade that gave me the final look I was going for. One of the best things about this method is that you can see the texture on the surface of the cast. This could be a bad thing though if you have a sloppy model and were counting on the paint to cover up some... sloppiness. Anyways, it is great for me because I really wanted to give my claws a brushed adamantium look. ;) I am pleased with the results.

I will offer the metallic powder cast claws to anyone that wants them. Although the process is more involved than painting them so if you want the metallic powder cast claws then I will be selling those for $85. This still includes 6 sealed metallic powder cast claws with wires, 2 grips, and shipping within the Contiguous US.

Below are a couple pics from the weekend. I will be posting some hi-res pics of my set of metallic powder cast claws and one painted claw (for reference) either tomorrow or Wednesday. I still need to seal my claws, finish tweaking the fitment, and get my wife (professional photographer) to take the hi-res pics.

I'm in no particular hurry. I always prefer quality over speed. :)

I do not sacrifice quality for anything. ;) That is why I limited my Halloween run to 5 sets. I want to make sure I have plenty of time to get these done. Thanks.
 
Re: Darkside501st's Wolverine Claws Run

Ok guys... thread bump for update in first post. I uploaded some hi-res pics of the claws that my wife took (great photographer - thanks honey). I will also be posting some more pictures of my hands holding the claws later (when I get home). I will also try to get a comparison shot of the painted claw vs the metallic powder cast claw. My wife said this is difficult though because they both reflect light so seeing a difference between the two is challenging for digital equipment. Anyways, I will post the best pic I can get. The difference is best seen in person.

As I described it before the metallic powder cast claws are embedded in the surface of the resin so the cast shows the texture of the original model. I was counting on this and so I gave it a brushed stainless steel type texture. The result is beautiful.

The painted claws are very close in color and reflective quality. They will have a high quality paint job. As with any paint job the surface is smooth, therefore, there is no texture or brushed steel appearance.

So if you want to wait for the rest of the pictures you are more than welcome to. If you are ready to order then choose whether you want the painted claws or the metallic powder cast claws and send the appropriate payment through paypal. Prices are in the first post. My paypal address is blackburn68@yahoo.com

Make sure you put your RPF username and the type of claws you want in the paypal comments. Also, I will send the claws to the address listed on your paypal account unless you specify a different address in the payment comments.

Feel free to send me a PM or post any questions here and I will get to them ASAP. Thanks.

I'm thinking of going with a painted set. Are any of the stills you posted of the painted ones? I can't view larger versions of the more recent pics, it's asking me to log in with a Microsoft account.

The only comparison shot I got is in the video. All the pictures we took did not show much of a difference due to the reflective quality of the finishes. My wife said that she could try a different lighting environment tomorrow and see if we can get a better picture.

That is strange about the pictures... I logged out and was able to view them. I tried to change one of the settings so you can try it again. All of the pics are of the metallic powder cast claws I made. The video is the only thing that shows the painted claw. If the pictures still don't work then try this link to see if the gallery will come up:

Re: Darkside501st's Wolverine Claws Run

They work great now! Thanks!! I still can't decide though... I think stills of the painted ones would help if it's not too much trouble :)

It is no trouble... the picture just doesn't show the difference very well. We had to edit the pic to reduce the glare so it looks kind of washed out. Here is the best comparison shot we could get between the painted claw and the metallic powder cast claw:



The painted claw is on the bottom. Don't be fooled by the picture though... even though you can't see much of a difference in the picture, there is a big difference that can be seen in person.
