getting read to cast. some pewter i already cast and a brand new ingot. |
there was some bubbling caused by a piece of wood that was in the plaster. it lest this weird crystalline lump on top. |
here is how it looked after breaking the mould. it had a nice light gold kind of colour. |
this is how it looked after the first round on the sander. there are some imperfections here and there but it is not bad considering the rush in which i made it. |
here it is with the wooden one just before it gets a final polish. |
the imperfections really show up once it is polished. the pewter has a really nice feel to it. |
bit of delicate filing to fit the lens. i could not get a thread cutter this big so i just made the hole slightly smaller than the thread so it just bites a bit. |
and thats basically it. |
