With the mold for the crosier finally finished, we cast up a couple of them in rigid white plastic. For added strength, we added a metal armature inside the mold. When the resin locks onto the metal, it should be almost indestructible! We also cast 2 additional crosiers from softer rubber. These will get the same finish, but will be softer in the combat sequences, in case of any accidental mishaps during the fight scenes.
The second crosier was cut in half, as per their request. This is so FX can make it look like it's been buried into someones chest! Mmmmm...........Nice!
With the castings cleaned up, and primed, they all got a glossy coat of black paint. This is the first step in our buffed metallic finish!
We let the finished pieces sit for awhile to dry before we packed them up and headed out to deliver them to the Art Director in Toronto!
I might cast an extra one for myself to settle any traffic disputes that might arise on the way to the city. The DVP highway can really bring out the worst in commuters!
