Rosette is finally done!

Hi Brash Sculptor!

Thank you so much for the Rosette and purity seals. I ended up wearing it to  a tournament last weekend and EVERYONE LOVED IT! Here are just some photos of how it turned out.

PS: I was in fifth place when I left the tournament - so I think the emperor was with me! WOot for the Faithful!

Very nice! I have an old Black Library rosette, this would be the only 'bling' for an =][= i'd be missing. So it's good to see it can be done, though if I attempt it I expect mine will look substantially worse XD

Would you be casting the copy in pewter or something else? Curious to maybe get some insight from you in casting in metal, i've only done resin thus far.

I'm not Brash, but I know a little about casting metal.  The RTV silicone molds can take the heat of low temp metal (RTV can take 500-600 degrees, this is what the new silicone oven mitts are made out of), but the heat will tear up the mold pretty quick.  You need to make the walls thcker to handle the extra weight obviously, and one trick is to pre-heat the mold before you use it.  A room temperature mold can cool the metal fast enough that it won't fill in the cavities before it turns solid.

Taken and noted. I knew the walls would need to be thickened... I've done smithy work, so I know about heated metal.. Just.. I doubt the wife will let me set up a forge in a third floor apartment... In fact, i'm fairly certain she'd geld me if I mentioned it.



Hopefully I can get the little bugger made... I think reading this thread, and some others here, I am confident enough I can make up a few more of this and some other pieces, which is all I needed. Thanks! And beautiful work again Brash!

Good god. It'd be a damn shame if that were to fall into some moulding supplies.
