Was playing around with an artsy type 933 model I made up. It is 2.5 pounds of solid cast aluminum. I purposely made it rough to give it that old school trophy type look. The tiles measure 16" on the diagonal so it is roughly 5.5 inches long. Close to a 1:25 scale

The pictures aren't that clear and don't do it justice. Just thought i would share.

Do you still have the mold you cast it in?

cobalt

Sand cast so the mold is broken for each part made.

But I do have the tooling. Was thinking of making up some more. But have to figure a way to make it economical. The cleaning and polishing is a fair amount of work.

Tony,
Count me in for one if you decide to make these in quantity.

Very cool.

That's awesome! You might could sell them in rough form and do better.

All in.

That is pretty cool! Did you carve the tooling yourself?

I would be interested since it looks so cool...and can do the polishing myself no problems.

Cheers,

Andreas can polish them. Just coat it with cosmoline first, he'll get her done

Seriously, this is cool!!

chris walrod

....and almost as solid as the real ones

Would bead/media blasting do the trick?

Well I could make them in kit form and finished also. It is actually made of 5 pieces the wheels are cast separately although they are glued in place. It was a lot of work to make the tooling. I still need to chase some of the detail in deeper. This is just the prototype.

I was also thinking of making them in brass or bronze for different looks. I would do magnesium but it would corrode to quickly.

Grit blasting is too aggressive. Glass bead would be better. It all depends on what finish you want. I like the way it looks with the distressed look. Others might like a perfect polished finish.

It will be a while before I go into production on these but will let you guys know if I do. If I do make them they will only be in limited numbers.

Thanks for the complements.
