a skull I just finished

I prefer the bone color but it looks really nice

 

looks incredibly awesome

 

Looks good. Yes, I am having problems liking it for my clients. Just like the old bone look the best.

 

I personally like the white also, but that does look very nice. Good job!

 

is this basically electroplating?

 

Here's a bronze

 

I am not sure of the process you are doing but I bought some of the HAMMERED spray paint and came out with sort of the same look for $8. I am SURE that a truly bronzed skull would help protect it better and probably look a little better but here is a pick of one I was messing with. Several customers liked it but none have liked it good enough to have it done to theirs yet, LOL!

 

I have always prefered the white natrual bone color, but, man that bronze is awesome looking. Reminds me of somethign antique or a little bit like how a raw skull found in the wild might look with some dirt stains.

It's all cool stuff, thanks for sharing pics! Nice work by all three of you.

 

Looking good guys!

Here's a cape buff I finished up last week in nickel and a couple more pics in bronze:

 

Well they look awesome but how much does it cost to have a head done in a true bronze finish? I cant disagree that they look better than the hammered spray paint but if it cost several hundred to get one done like that, around here at least, it just wont fly because of the high cost. Heck, they already accuse me of highway robbery when I tell them it will cost $75 to have there skulls dipped in camo, and I aint making but about $10 off the deal after shipping it both ways and paying the cost of the dipping.

 

WOW, that's cool.

 

I charge 125 for metalizing on a deer. Willing to do wholesale. My website is deadheadskulls.com

 

I prefer natural bone color, too, but...I'm a sucker for all things shiny. Jess, yours looks awesome. And the others...especially the nickel and bronze, are just too cool! Wish I could afford to have something like this done to one of my skulls. I have a lot of less-than-great quality skulls that would love a little added protection and color. You all here are tempting me to spend money I really shouldn't! Lol!

 

Have you tried any of the antiquing with the sophisticated finishes products?

 

These skulls all look really nice. I still perfer the natural whitened bone color, but this is something I might consider doing once or so. Nice work.

 

the cape buffalo skull looks really good
