I am looking for some help molding and casting a real revolver so I can display it as a prop. Specifically, I want a replica of Biffs S&W .38spl from BTTF.
I currently have the real gun setup as it was in the movie except mine is not stainless steel like Biffs. I want to know what steps should be taken so that I get a clean mold and don't harm my revolver in the making.
I realize this will be a two part mold, clay the bottom, create keys for the top half etc... I saw in one video someone put an earplug in the barrel, should I do that to both ends of the barrel as well as the revolver cylinders? what about moving components? Does anyone have any recommendations on what materials I should use for the mold and or cast?
I am excited to add another prop to my BTTF collection!
Thanks,
Dennis
