Any updates on this incredible project?
sure. Here's an update. The local place where I was going to have my bars gold plated went out of business (probably because of pandemic but can not confirm) soooooooooooo...... looks like I will be saving up for some gold plating equipment and learning how to do it myself

where did you pick up your micro cellphone? got any photos to show?I have a set of 3 silver bars, some bank notes and Joe’s micro cellphone. Arguably a very small collection from an awesome, original movie. Also very small in the sense that I would love to expand it if you catch my drift

I'm guessing he made it :

Slight update here. I haven't pulled the trigger on getting a gold plating kit yet, but in the mean time I have started on the sister-project to this one. Here's a mold positive for the Looper Silver Ingot that I'm going to be making. I'll eventually be making Lost wax investment casts and making metal versions. This is a clean version, meant to look like a properly cast silver ingot. After I get the setup nailed down I'll move on to making a roughed up version as well that is more in line with the screen used prop bars.

Hope progress is still being made on this fantastic project.
This got sidelined by the final step in the process, the Gold Plating. I still don't have a Gold Plating Kit, so will be on hold till I get the funds to purchase one.

Awesome. Can’t wait to see some pics.
Here's a look at the first round of gold plating on a 1 kg bar. takes a good amount of cleaning and buffing to get a good end result. The black in the recesses is buffing compound that I couldn't get out. If anyone has any advice on how best to remove that, acid bath cleaning or something akin to that please feel free and share
amazing, great work!

Have you tried Goof Off Pro Strength spray? I've had incredible luck with it in general and have used it on small-moderate amounts of buffing compound with decent results. Might be worth a try.Here's a look at the first round of gold plating on a 1 kg bar. takes a good amount of cleaning and buffing to get a good end result.
