How to make a quick, cheap set of wolvie claws

[MattMurdockYLW]

Ok I hope this will be of use to some of you. I used a pic of a movie claw from profiles in history I think to make this pattern in photoshop. I printed it out on card stock paper. I cut along the outside lines and then scored the thick black ones with the back of a razor blade so I could bend them to get the bevel of the blade (if that makes sense to anyone but me) I then taped it all together with scotch tape and filled it with resin. Then I coated the outside with resin. Once it was all cured and I had a solid claw, sanding and bondo began. It's now how I want it and under silicone. I hope this helps a few people. Ok I will link the progress pics below to save space. The gold one was before sanding and bondo, just resin over the card stock, painted it to see the rough areas.

cool let me know how it works out for you. I just finished puling the original from the mold now I have to wait for resin to do some castings.

I probably won't be able to get around to working on them until after Dragon*Con,but I will definitely let you know how it worked out for me.
