Haven't done a build thread in awhile, so I thought I would document my attempt to make The Colt from Supernatural.
To recap from the other thread, I started with a donated Colt Patterson which I molded and cast. I then modified the cast parts with the appropriate engravings.
That got me up to here.
Once I knew I had good parts, I ran another batch as cold-cast nickel/silver. The grips I did with pecan-flour filled resin which will hopefully make a decent faux wood.
As you can see, the cold-cast parts come out very dull looking.
After cleaning everything up and buffing the parts out with a wire wheel I got this.
Also did a set of carved grips in red oak.
I'm also doing a painted version using the black parts above, and ultimately I want to do a compare and contrast.
