Just wanted to share a project i've been piddling around with for a few months...
long story short when i orignally got my spear i had it casted up just in case it ever broke or got damaged in anyway ...this mold has been sitting in my basement for years... i had plans to make a "clear" see through combi but that never panned out .. ...
anyway, the original spear i had weighed about 25 lbs because i used copper pipes and the weight killed me. so i decided to try and use a very lightweight material i came across this stuff called of all things..."GREAT STUFF"
it's a self expanding and self skinning foam for about 5 bucks a can ...prepped my mold and figured if it doesn't work...no biggie just trash the mold and call it a day
pumped the whole can into the mold ...came back the next day and check it out
painted with flat black enamel paint
Close up of detail( pretty good)
teaching my son how to dry brush the copper paint onto it
best part of the whole thing is the weight on it...not even a 1/4 ounce on the piece
i'll take some more progress shots, just wanted to share...
