James Gurney | Faux Bronze Plaque: How to sculpt a nameplate from epoxy clay @JamesGurney | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
James Gurney shows how to make a Steampunk-style plaque out of epoxy clay, wood, springs, and wire. The result looks like an antique cast bronze sign with raised letters, but this method is much faster and cheaper to make for the home craftsperson. The plaque is made with animated elements that rotate and lift up and down, operated by manual crank levers that turn a camshaft.
MATERIALS:
Magic Sculpt Clay: amzn.to/2HrzJqJ
1/4 inch birch plywood: amzn.to/2uClKvd
Set of springs: amzn.to/3bAtyyr
Thin plywood plaques: amzn.to/2UK8QWQ
Bronze spray enamel: amzn.to/2uEpL27
