Hey guys,
Long time since I've posted.
Here's a little write up on a Grammy Award I made. I wish I had just made a cast and sent that to chrome first since there are small imperfections, and I am pretty sure I don't want to go through that much smoothing again!
Basically its your simple tried and true formula of sanding and filling. The grammy started off as a 3D print done last minute for C2E2 and the grammaphone was filled in. Had to essentially scoop it out and sculpt a nice smooth interior.

That certainly won't do! Little did I know the nightmare I was walking into with working with a 3D print on PLA.

Using a dremel proved really, really frustrating because before it could take any material off, it would melt. It made was should've been a days work, turn into a week's nightmare.

Now, lets hit the fast forward button! Lots of microlite, lost patience, and primer later.

I reached out to Don who has done good work for me in the past. I chalk up the 3 day chrome window to the orange peel. (Why do I always do this at the last minute!?)

I need to repaint the base, but it was doable to walk around with:

Of course it was for my ongoing library of Daft Punk costumes.
