Thor's Hammer (Mjolnir) (Part 3)!

Last installment of Thor's hammer!! I love myeu-muh with all my heart just like all my other props, but a little more because me and my sister have an ongoing joke about her being secretly adopted and how she is rightful to the family estate, making me Thor.

Step six: I flattened the hammer as much as possible with the hot knife.

Step seven: I used Plaster of Paris to strengthen the the hammerhead and hold the PVC pipe in place. I painted on about three layers of plaster before sanding it down.

Step eight: I covered the entire hammer in the Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty, from Captain America's shield, to fill in all the small cracks in the plaster. After that dried I sanded that down to a smooth finish as well.

Step nine: I used a dark grey automotive primer to cover the hammer and handle.

Step ten: I used a hammered grey spray paint, it gives the antique and used effect.

Step eleven: I used black puffy paint for the symbols on the side, but the puffy paint slid down the edges and looked awful so I wiped it away and finished the last two sides with black craft paint.

Step twelve: Because the black paint looked awful as well I wiped it away too and dremeled the symbols into the angled edges.

Step thirteen: I used a black stain that my mom had and painted it into the symbols.
