The molds were a success!

The handle is being molded now, and should be ready to cast tonight.

I also started on the pommel. This part has been very time consuming. I turned it on the lathe, and then added the raised ridge the same way that I did for the handle.

Got some decent work done this weekend. The pommel is finally finished. The detail work took forever, but I think it came out pretty perfect.

The final molds are setting up tonight, and if all goes well, I can cast some parts in the morning. Then I can finally get one finished.

Not sure if it's an optical illusion with the pics, but honestly, the pommel looks rather small for the handle.

It's definitely an illusion. It looks perfect in person.

The pommel has been molded. The first casting came out perfect, and I decided to try it with pewter as well. Here is the master, resin copy, and pewter copy.

The pewter ones are very close to perfect. The detail is not quite as crisp, but the look is better, and is much more durable. Here it is after an acid wash, and buffed with steel wool.

I also tried to find the right size leather for the strap, but there isn't anything that is pre made. SO I ordered some raw leather and some dye.

I started to paint the handle. After cleaning up the seam, I primed it and sprayed a gloss black for a base coat.

After letting that dry overnight, I sprayed some Alclad II chrome paint. This gave it a beautiful metal look.

Then I took some brown acrylic paint and hand painted the "leather" parts. Then a blackwash, and it was done.

I am loving how well this is coming together. More updates soon.

My son's birthday was this past weekend, and I was able to get his hammer finished. I used the resin handle, the pewter for the hilt, and then I made the head out of a foam rubber.

I dusted the molds with a metallic silver powder, and then brushed in a black rubber. It gave it a nice and durable skin. Then I filled the rest of the mold with Flex Foam-It 10. The final result was a very light and durable prop, that won't cause too much damage. Due to the time crunch I forgot to take progress pictures. Here are some pictures of him with it.

He absolutely loves it, and hasn't stopped hitting things with it. Now I just need to finish one for myself.

Thanks!

I decided to have a little fun with mine. I wanted it to have some good weight to it, so I cast the head hollow, and cut a hole in the side.

Then I mixed up some concrete. It's cheap easy to work with, and heavy.

Then filled up the head.

It was dry enough the next day, to assemble the side cap, and paint it. I did the black base coat, and then the Alclad II Chrome, and then a blackash and sealed it with an auto clear. I forgot to take pictures again, but here is the finished product.

The total weight is about 14 lbs. It's not a lot, but it's enough to take people by surprise.

I still need to make one final light weigh one for myself. But that will probably have to wait until after Dragoncon.

The heavy one is super cool, but it is very tiring to hold.


Small update. I made some progress on my high quality normal weight hammer. Here it is with a gloss black base coat.

And again with the chrome paint.

I'll be bringing this one to Dragon Con this weekend. If you see me, say hi.

Once I get back I'll do a photo shoot, and make kits available.

This is just an amazing build...you can't tell the difference between this and the movie prop...

amazing work...

for the chrome what type of chrome paint did you used? I've tried many times to get that effect on a helmet I have but never comes out right even after using black gloss as a base...
