Yes, I will be offering complete fully painted and detailed Krieg Axes. You can P.M. me for pricing.

Thanks for your interest!

I have completed the molding process for the two halves. I employed a silicone jacket mold with a hard plaster mother. This is a long process that is detailed in many videos by many authors out in the ether of cyberspace. Here are a couple photos from the process:







This is what I ended up with:

I started pulling casts and playing with colors and ratios in preparation for painting.

Here is one mocked up with a raw handle, roughed in blade, and steel hardware. The axle assembly on the final products will be urethane resin.

Nice work.

Looks great, looking forward to the finished product :smiley:

Nice work dude! That aint easy to do!

Things are progressing swimmingly. I have commenced the painting process in preparation for my giveaway and start of orders on the axe prop. I have decided to do a game themed paint for the prize.

The purple version in the back is a personal paint job. I’ll post pictures when its all said and done.

I started (and now finished) a fresh batch of handles. I use reclaimed hardwood for this application. Here is a shot of the progress from raw template (the two on the left), roughed in with 36 grit on a grinder (the next one), and a semi-finished sand to 80 grit on an orbital sander (on the right).

When I’ll get the money, I’ll buy you one, that’s for sure mate.

(But S+H plus goddamn Chilean Customs will rape me with taxes xDDDD)

We will make it work out. Total prop weight is around 2 kilo so shipping isn’t too bad.

2015 Q4 probably. I’ll let you know.

Salutations.

You’ll know where to find me.

I added the mismatched ā€œtoxic aquaā€ color splatterns with the aid of some frisket and delicate hands. In this photo I had barely applied the first layer of weathering to the new color.

After some extra detail sanding and shaping I gave the handles a nice coat of chestnut colored stain to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. I then topped that all off with two coats of matte clear lacquer and a top coat of Permalac matte.

The wrap detail is done with actual bandages adhered to the handle and weathered with a series of acrylic washes. This too gets another layer of clear lacquer to seal the deal. I made a repeatable template to add the splatter detail to the blade and hardware and weathered them accordingly. With all the little ends worked out I took some shots of the finished parts disassembled…

… and fully assembled before delivering unit 01 to my client.

The total length is around 28" (71 cm) and the weight is right at 5 lbs (2 kilo).

I had a lot of fun making this prop and hope you enjoyed seeing a little of the process behind it. Of course I will be taking orders for completes, so P.M. me if you are interested.

Hey man, I was just wondering if you’re still able to sell one of these?

Oh yes, I can sell as many as you want. :wink:

Awesome! I only want the one though :blush:, how much?

(unless there was hidden sarcasm in that comment, otherwise fair play to you sir!)

I just came across this thread and I gotta say that the buzz Axe build is awesome. How much are you selling these for?

I will have an Etsy store up and running very soon. I will post links accordingly.

These Buzzaxes look awesome. Would you be taking orders of these in time for Halloween 2015?

I suppose that depends on how many you want.

Lol!

Yes, I can get you an axe (or many axes that would necessitate a rack) by Halloween 2015.
