Re: DarkMatter Forge - Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Open Run

Hello Darkside501st.
Thank you for the great work you have put into your amazing Wolverine Claws.
Any tips of how should bend the wire frame to finish off the wolverine claws.
 
Re: DarkMatter Forge - Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Open Run

Thank you. I would be glad to help you out. Have you watched my assembly instructions video? Send me a PM and explain what you are trying to do... I don't fully understand what you meant in your post.

Hi Dardside501st.
I have watched your "wolverine claws assembly instructions" on youtube website Thank you very much for the video, it was a great help for to understand how to assembly the claws. I will build the claws in the next few weeks.
Once again thank you for all your fantastic help.
Keep up with the super props.

Just a few pics in the Darkside bone claws. They a huge hit at the con. I went between the bone claws from darkside and metal claws from Russ.

Re: DarkMatter Forge - Metallic Origins & The Wolverine Claws - Open Run

your bone claws and Sabertooth claws links are not working for me

Yeah, it looks like the threads disappeared... Sabertooth I get that... Nobody was ever interested in me finishing those up so the thread never went anywhere and probably went past the 90 days of inactivity in the junkyard and was deleted. I am not sure why the bone claws thread disappeared since I know I just posted in that thread a couple weeks ago. Anyway, I wanted to combine the bone claws into this thread anyway so it is not a big deal. I will see if I can edit it up this weekend. Until then you guys can check out the pictures on my Facebook page (link under my avatar and in my signature) or on my website (click on the image banner in my signature).

darkside501st, have you seen the photo of the screen used claws used? They seem to have a luster to them with the paint they used, you think you could do that or what? I'll post a pic of it as soon as i can in case you haven't.

I have seen several images. The rubber ones look different then the hero prop and my prop... darker. I could do that darker color but getting a high metallic luster with an affordable product would be a challenge. There are painting techniques that do this but the process is quite involved and materials are expensive. The method I use is the best result for the cost which allows me to offer them to you all at an affordable price. I have used real metal powder on the molds and the results are darker and have a slightly higher luster but the metal powder is more expensive and the process is more involved so I would have to charge more for those. See this custom set I made:

The pictures aren't the best for displaying the luster on the claws (first one, with Chewy, is best). The rest show the darker color.

To me it looks like whoever made those claws did some sort of effect in the molding, not the paint. Could be wrong but you can see it better in the sceen of The Wolverine where he's in that chair and his claws are out, I know those aren't CG, look to be ones like above.

In a scene like that I would think that they would use rigid claws vs the rubber ones. These were most likely used when he was fighting the ninjas or other bad guys. They could have done a similar process on the rigid claws to... maybe they used real metal powder and just have better buffing equipment than I do. lol

Hey darkside,

Would you at any point be looking into reworking your bone clones to look more like the ones seen in DOFP? I know the differences are pretty obscure, but I know at least I'd notice them. haha
