I like it too , nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. Continue with the fine the tweaking cost it out for resin and/or metal and let us know. Good prop and a very good start. :thumbsup

Here is a bit more tweaking,still not perfect. I was thinking a resin copy first, clean it up a bit more, then in metal. I dont know what the bottom of the hammer looks like though--no images of that--any ideas??

Pretty sure you can buy these...
But where's the fun in that!?
What?? Dare you defile the creed of the prop maker--BUY what we can create and make with our own insanity?? LOL

Agreed! Making is always more fun, satisfying, and cheaper.
God - I can't remember. It was on one of those web sites that has all the replica arms; you know, pirate stuff, old west stuff... its been awile, but I'm prettys sure I saw this.
Incidentally, (and slightly OT) I have a screen-used, plastic version of the mace Kate carries down the hall, looking for the wet dog.

I had a go at making one of these to accompany my screen used costumes from Van Helsing, then found out it could be bought! :lol
Infact all of the various ornamental weapons and such were bought at a shop on location in Prague that sold these kind of cheap decorative things to tourists, but as PHArchivist mentioned, they can be found on various websites selling Medieval weapons and what-not
Great sculpt though :thumbsup

I did so many Goggle, Bing searches with the words spike, Hammer, Hand, Van Helsing, Kate Bekinsale, Medivial weapons, war hammers, etc in them and came up with NADA.
SO I went to work.

I have been working on a lot of other projects but saw this one on my shelf just wanting to be worked on--so I did a little more to it. I have to get the mold done to cast the head in either low temp metal or cold cast metal--
This is obviously still in production, not sure if I will keep the bottom and it is a bit too long I think--but anyhow, here ya go.

Looking very cool :thumbsup
I had a quick look for the site of the company in prague, but can't seem to find it at the moment, but I did save the picture from the time I delt with them, so hopefully this will help with the details and length of the mace:

Cool--that helps a lot-- I was wondering what the bottom was like. Looks like the length may be ok too then! Much appreciated!
Let meknow if you find that company in Prague also. Id be interested in browsing the site. I have my eye on building the Crossbow also. I have tons of pictures of the original with lots of details, that one is going to be a bit tougher to tackle, but It would be so worth it.

Re: Van Helsing Hammer more pics
I went ahead on this one and put the handle that I liked. Still have to finish it up. I may do another one with a more screen accurate handle. I also just talked with a friend of mine today who owns a foundry--well guess what---these may be done in solid aluminum or kirksite!
Im probably going to do the Necro Dagger in solid aluminum as well
