moray james Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 one of the forum members posted apicture of black pies with a smooth surface and silver trim. If I could figure how to post the picture on this forum I would but no such luck. I think these with holes would look beautiful. Please let me know if you can do these and what you would want for them.Thanks and best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Moray James, I can provide pies with textured backgrounds and nail holes, and I should soon be able to provide smooth ones, too. The smooth example I received for molding was blemished, but I am working to remove the same blemishes from reproductions; to create new molds. Here's a picture of nail-on black pies, with silver trim, but with the textured background. I'll post pictures when I am able to reproduce what I think you are asking for, so feel free to send me an email when or if I can be of assistance.

My black pie's are all black, or at least I think they are. If they had silver on them its worn off and what you are seeing is just the flash reflection on the raised portion of the pie.

Panacea Engineering Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Chris, The clear Pie's with the gold look great.....! I am pretty sure that is what I want to use on the La Scalas. Did you see the blue one that someone posted? Can you add blue pigment to come up with something for the Smurf Scalas? Thanks, W. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hi W.C., I'm using Easy Cast resin, from Tap Plastics, for the castings. For the black logos, I'm using clear resins but adding Tap Plastic's Super Black to the mix. I expect to hand apply any gold / silver paint with paint pens. Chris It's obvious you are comfortable with the plastics you are already using, but you might also have a look at: http://www.smooth-on.com/Urethane-Plastic-a/c5/index.html They have some great products as well. The link is for the urethane stuff, but they make lots of products. We had a man here where I work, who made replacement parts for things no longer available. Cool stuff.

Would you want translucent, or solid color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for the tip, Marvel, I'll check them out. I think I got the painting part mostly figured out now. Does anyone want to guess which one here is the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Dude, these are amazing! On the last ones, do you paint the flat black and the gold or does the plastic have an option of a matte finish? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These backgrounds are textured, which just doesn't reflect well. Unpainted, the smooth surfaces are quite shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
