Marvel/Disguise 2009 Mjolnir - Hammer of Thor Prop Replica

Alright, So the story goes that my good friend Mander who works at Quantum Comics ordered this Mjolnir Prop Replica a year or so back and when it comes in, its suppose to look very metal/stone like. Very nice, and shaded. And realistic:


Well. It didn't. It comes in looking like this:


It looks very shiny. and very cheap. You can tell its cheesy plastic the second you look at it. For about 50-60 bucks. It is a major disappointment. So my good friend Mander gave me a call and I booked it down there immediately.
So, being the "skilled customizer" that I am, I gave it a shot! Clearly I could not bear to see Mjolnir look like this!



So the first step was automotive primer. Had to get rid of that awful shine, and make sure the world would never witness it again!



Next step was Color Tool Primer, to make sure the next coat would stick down real good

Then i used Color Tool's super silver to make it appear as if it is aluminum, or brushed metal. Then I applied Valspar's Gun Metal to certain carefully selected corners, angles and sides to give it the worn and forged look I wanted to achieve.


Final Result:

I had finished, and presented it to Mander within 3 Days. I then had to take a picture of where one of its final homes will be:

Within Quantum Comics.



So if you wanna check it out, because I know you do, then hop over to Quantum Comics. It wasn't forged by Gods, and it wasn't milled from a single block of aluminum by Side Show Collectibles, but its for sure the only one in the world!

By the way, I had this sucker in my hand the whole time, so damn right I was worthy to wield the Hammer of Thor!
