Sam Salvati Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Made these up today. The skull needs some modifications, and/or to be remade since I ground off a tooth :( I want to try again anyway to get a taller skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Looking good, Sam! I think I would punch that on the end of some tool steel, trim down the piece you punched that into and make that into your punch. Then you'd have it raising out of the piece you punch. Oooo...

Drewed Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Neat. What did you use to make the cuts in the skull? Dremmel? Chisle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nicely done. I am curious about the eyes and nose, and how you did those. Chisel into the hot punch end? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Entrance Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That is quite rad. Reminds me of the skull and crossbone earrings the Mobile Infantry wore in Starship Troopers. Make it easy to add a bone for every combat jump, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeddly Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Nice! Would look good on a tong rivet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Salvati Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 thanks guys! Randy, yes I think I will try that! Drewed, I filed it all by hand, then used the corner of a sharp chisel for the eyes and nose. Sorry Thomas! :D Private thanks, I love ST! Jeddly, making a second smaller set for that exact thing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
