Press mold chain mail.........SUCESS is within sight!!

[Shawn R. L.]

Here's some shots of the pressmold and the pressing of it. With a little tweaking I can get the rings to look really interlocked. Very tiny, very very tiny tolerances. I've probably done 20 or more different approaches and this is the closest yet of what I thought possible.

That looks really neat! With a bit of tweaking, as you say, this could look fantastic.

Damn! Now, someone has better eyes than me! Or are you cheating and using magnifiers? This looks lovely!

bloody hell shawn

 

[evil tendencies]

Very nice. I'd love to see the whole mini that this is going onto.

 

[SkelettetS]

[Donga]

Blimey!

Now we need a big ol' 'little ring mail' tutorial...

So is the press mould to be used for a mini you're making, or will the mould itself eventually find its way onto the AC website? Obviously, both would be the preferred option! I imagine many people could find a use for that mould.

 

[TreManor]

GREAT idea. I may have a go with that! If there is ANYTHING I hate to scultp it is Chain Mail!

I use those bulky magnifiers AND 3.75 reading glasses at the same time. Little becomes big but all those circles can make me dizzy. I have to go one row then take a break.

Wowza, now that does look good. Way to go Shawn! Totally not the approach I thought you would be going with.
