Dredd (2012) - Badge and belt buckle

I acquired a dredd badge and belt buckle production made props from the movie Dredd (2012), they were test cast made with different resins and fillers.

The asset on those was they were pretty clean to produce replicas.

I had made two simple block molds.

The best way to produce a realistic metal effect was cold casting, which consist of using metal powder in the mold and mixed with resin.

Raw casts are mat :

Magic comes with polishing ! Steel whool and automotive aluminium polish are the best ingredients !

Bit of weathering to reveal details, and here are the final replicas :
