Description
Gilded the details of the blade after the polishing was done. De-greasing the surface, masking it with nail varnish and electro-plating the silver.****
The Master Sword is finally coming together.
It has been a lot of work. LOT of work, but today I'll head to my customer for an order check, and hopefully He'll be happy witht hem!
Sterling silver, gilt detailing and fake enamel (tinted resin).
I did try real enamel, even getting a bigger kiln in order to do this project, but I had forgotten lesson A1 in enamelling. "Never try enamel anything with an angle smaller than 90 degrees!".. The enamel virtually jumped off the surface, despite ardous attempts.
Oh, well, I got a better colour with the resin anyway. I hope he will be pleased.
Only thing left now is oxidizing the handles.
The original model was built by Joachim HΓΆstlΓΆf.

Sculpted in plastic by a friend of mine, then a cast was made from the original to create wax replicas which then was cast in the lost wax method.

Ooh.. I have been keeping an eye on your miniatures.. they look so splendid and detailed!
I keep making mine more jewel-ish, working in metals like silver and gold alloys.
I love miniatures.. I love swords. So what can be better than this?
I also make miniature jewelry teacups, shoes and more girlish attire... but swords.. mmm!
Keep up the awesome work youself, and thank you for your comment. It always means a lot more coming from someone engaging in the same craft.
