I have been working on a new build, a metal replica of the mimeticpolyalloy T-1000 hook, shot off during the Pescadero escape scene in Terminator 2.
I got a picture of the original screen used prop online, I then used that to make a template. I filled the template with fibre filled car body filler and a bent metal rod for an internal support.
I then cut and shaped the body filler when set. It took some time to get it smooth enough to cast.
But when it was ready I could use it to make my metal version.
It was then molded to create a wax pattern part, that could then be used cast a bronze piece. Using the lost wax casting method. I then gave the cast bronze hook a good sand and polish.
It is now ready for chrome plating.
I will update with some more pictures once it is back from chrome plating.
