Check out my custom mini

[spitfire]

I just finished this up today. I use Polyester Resin along with some Pearl powders and pour it all into a mold and swirl the colors. Once it cures I turn it on the lathe. I had this idea for a while but just had time to work on it. I plan to do a few more sine this one came out good.

What do you think?

By dumb luck it came out to be the same size as a typical mini. I knew it would be close but not that close. I didn't take any measurements during turning it.

That it super unigue I like it. Nice method. If I didn't lose my minis like my car keys i'd hit u up to make one.

That thing is beautiful. Looks like a piece of marble. Nice work!

Very sweet... I like to see other peoples bespoke stuff.
How did you polish after the turn?

 

[spitfire]

I start sanding at 220 then 320 from there I wet sand with 400 then go to 1500-12000 grit wet sand. Then polish with plactic polish.

By hand, d/a, or polisher/buffer?
Great job either way.

Great job either way.

All work is done on the lathe. From turning it to sanding to applying the plastic polish.

Are you planning on selling them and if so how much for one?

I really am not sure yet. I thought about it but it wouldn't be a cheap mini that's for sure. To much time involved. I casted 2 more tonight and will turn them as soon as I have a chance. If I can get a little quicker with my process then I should be able to turn them out and offer them at a decent price.

neither of my $20 Innova metal minis were cheap

i like handmade minis, so do lots of people who know what handmade things are worth.

I am willing to hear offers. If anybody is interested in any of the mini's I post up shoot me a PM.I have 2 more ready to turn in the next few days.

This is not meant for throwing.

Flip it in the lathe and turn one into a mini driver... I need one for RIPT.
You know how much that first one weighs?

 

[spitfire]

I am not sure yet. i had somebody else ask me as well. i am going to get a kitchen scale and find out. Once I do I will report back.
