"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." - Winston Churchill
Outline:
- Setup
- Disassembled Trophy
- Broke out plaster from bottom base
- Prototyping / Brainstorming challice layout
Log:
Starting out I broken down the trophy into its core pieces just to see what I had to work with. The bonus is that cheap sports trophies are mostly hollow space. The bases were filled with a plaster like substance for weight which I had to break out. The next part was to figure out the crown jewel: The Chalice!
I'm currently focused on trying to figure out how I want to tackle the goal for the dice pile. I'm currently trying to create a small platform that would sit inside the chalice to help reduce how much resin/dice I'd need. No idea how I'm going to get the shape and structure I'm aiming for.
Current attempts at a platform is cutting down a disc-stack spacer. This has been a purely rough attempt. I need to figure out how to more reliably cut the discs down without fracturing them.
My next step is to purchase the dice I'll be using and do my research on resin casting. If anyone has a good resource let me know!
