First i bought a cheap ultra thin phone case, I did a sculpt onto the outer surface in chavant; I didn't want to have to bother figuring out how to get a good clean grip to the phone so i let someone else to that hard work for me. The sculpt also included some watch parts, i used a blow torch to melt the surface of the teeth to get a nice smooth glossy finish.

A New phone Case
I've been gently working away at this for about a month now.
First i bought a cheap ultra thin phone case, I did a sculpt onto the outer surface in chavant; I didn't want to have to bother figuring out how to get a good clean grip to the phone so i let someone else to that hard work for me. The sculpt also included some watch parts, i used a blow torch to melt the surface of the teeth to get a nice smooth glossy finish.
This was then moulded in silicone; it's a 2 part mould, the syringe is for a fill hole, tooth picks are for risers (holes for air to escape), the steel rods are to strengthen the top part of the mould. In a previous mould for an ipad case the silicone would droop and collapse causing the cast shaped to be warped and unusable, the steel rods seemed to have worked (they can also be removed and re-inserted if i need to flex this part of he mould)
The teeth were dusted with copper filler power in the mould, and then a thin layer of cold casted fast cast, ratio of filler powder was at 3:1. The cast was: seamed, sanded, filled, sanded again, primed and painted (acylic) I used a small amount of Chamelon Nano Flakes in the outside frame to give is a strange light splitting sheen. To get the teeth to shine (the picture doesn't do it justice) i used a combination of Silvo, and brass/copper polish and buffed the hell out of it.
