Hey a heads up on the sword handle section. A long narrow bolt is welded on that then travels up the blade section into a wooden handle.

Wow, the chrome is NICE. It is a powder coat that a shop is doing for you?
What part is the second photo?

That is a colonial warriors watch. And the parts are some how shot with copper and then plated.

Very cool, great photos. I'll have to look for the watch prop when I re-view the shows.
I've gotten my taxes done finally.. and I OWE (massively) - *grrrr*
SO, tuck back a set of armor somewhere for me Jim, I'll find a way yet to get the rest to go with the awesome helmet I got from you.

Just wondered what process did you use the chrome the parts? Was it vacuum metallizing or some sort of paint? The finish looks awsome, and i'm in need of repairs myself. Fighting to many colonials

Somehow they shoot it with copper and I believe dip it. It

Just a small note on the method C.O.R.A. has used. I have seen his parts in the past and that method of chroming he is using has a slight bluish tint to the over all finish. Not noticeable unless you have a non blue chrome piece next to it to see the side by side difference. It has something to do with the copper coating used.
