Beautiful. You should research 3d scanning to 3d printing process's so you can make these little gems infinitely.

Thanks~ I could still duplicate this one with a silicone mold but it's no really hard to sculpt and even if I had a 3d printer, I'd have to do the weathering process myself =,(
btw, your Steampunk monitor looks amazing! :D

what if i use modelling clay????????

~Mad Hatter (author) in reply to mastermakokoMar 28, 2012. 7:01 AM

It really depends on which kind of modelling clay you'd like to use: Air-drying clay works just fine~

Did you say METAL clay!!?? wantwantwantwantwantwant!

Lunera in reply to monsterlegoMar 25, 2012. 3:02 PM

Yep, metal clay, made of metal particulate and a binder. You sculpt it, and then fire in a kiln or with a blowtorch and the binder burns away leaving the metal. Lookup PMC

Cool, i'm getting some.
