That's some awesome quality bronze powder, it looks real.
Did you brush it or mix it?

Sorry for the late reply! I brushed in a 5:1 of bronze powder to resin and backed it with a 3:1 mix

Omg it looks awesome! The details are brought out gorgeously by the metal finish, ! It looks really great
Also how much does it weight?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah absolutely!! I was going to experiment with different ratios of copper to bronze and also with separate mixes to try and get some subtle movement in the colour. This cast is quite heavy, around 1.2kg at a guess.Β

Awesome!
I am trying to learn to imitate diferent textures by adding charge to the resin. I only tried color but I got some bronze powder . ΒΏDo you have a pic of the raw cast with the bronce powder resin? Thanks!

I was just following the game design! It's quite a chunky bastard, haha. Should be called a dwarven death paddle!

You nailed the smaller details pretty well. Very cool.
Perhaps you should try a Dadric weapon? Just a challenge...
Good work btw!

The weird thing about the dwemer daggers that they really look more like short swords.
Super awesome job, though!

Incredible work, I love your attention to detail, and realism.

I haven't got any

lol. IΒ΄ve just asked for the same... specially how is the raw piece with bronce powder or aluminium powder before aging.
Thanks!
π: 0 β©: 1
Before it's been polished or straight out the mould? Straight out the mould it looks like chocolate if if it's bronze powder and grey if if aluminium powder. Then when you use wire wool to expose the metal powders and it looks like metallic chocolate/grey. I'll take a picture of the next cast for you
π: 0 β©: 1
OK! Thanks very much!
I didnΒ΄t know polish was necessary...
My concern is just the way it looks real metal or if it is just a little bit of metalic appearance. I guess it will depend on the quantity of powder you use in the mix. What percentage in weight do you use more or less?
Thanks for your help and sorry for all these questions.

The more metal powder you get in the mix the better it looks after you've polished it up.Β It doesn't look like metal until you've polished it.Β The problem comes with getting the mix into the mould when casting. For the dagger i did a 5:1 ratio (5 parts metal powder to 1 part resin), i had to brush this into the mould. I backed it up with a 3:1 mix that i could pour into the mould once it was closed

Yes , thanks very much!
IΒ΄ll have to make my own test but this will help !
Very appreciated!

Beautiful work!Β Β
They're Dwemer though not DwarvesΒ
Nerd moment aside it's a fantastic looking weapon!

Actually if you read the Elder Scrolls wiki: "Mer Β used the term "Dwemer", whose meaning was roughly translated to "people of the deep".[6] Β The term also connoted to "deep-delving," "profound," and "close-counseled".[7] [8] However, they were commonly referred as "Dwarves" byΒ Men [6] "

And it was the Falmer that were Elves, tortured and mutated by the Dwemer (aka Dwarves)?Β It's a fun mythology.
