You can make one strip with a Fimo like clay. Bace it in the oven so its hard and then pour latex over it to make a mold. Then use plaster of paris to make dozens of them.

Make a dragon's-tooth-shaped punch out of whatever -- a bit of old plastic sprue or wood or whatever you have lying around.

Get some wax -- the soft, oily beeswax they use on rounds of cheese is ideal -- and roll it out flat and about 10mm thick.

Indent it with lines of dragons-teeth, and fill the indentations with epoxy, running a little between each indent to create a connection. Wait for it to cure, and pull out your line of dragons-teeth.

Repeat to suit. If the wax gets munged up, just smooth it aout and start again.

Dragons Teeth

Post by ZMONSTER »

If you have a meat hammer/tenderizer in your kitchen, there is often a flat side and the other side has row upon row of prymid shaped teeth.

Make a mold of these teeth, I used the laytex rubber molding liquid and painted the laytex on in several layers, with a layer of gauze or cheese cloth for reinforcement.

Then a cast the teeth in plaster, and I have all the Dragons teeth I can make

Good Luck, Bill
