hi again,
well looking at this further, it would be hard to cast the bezel because of the groove the glass sits in. So I decided to get some testors contour putty and fix the missing area, then paint it. The bezel itself has a factory split in it, that was glued together. You have to spread open the bezel to put the glass in the groove that it sits in.
I posted some pics of some things I have cast, 1st is a horse bank which was missing the lower leg. A friend of mine had the same bank and I borrowed it to make the mold. What I did after the mold was made, was to put my broken piece in the mold and pour what was missing. Then used a mig with high nickel wire and spot welded it, then dressed it with a dremel.
The 2nd is 2 keys I made, one with brass and one with cast iron. The cast iron one is for a toy bank. And the brass one worked right out of the mold.
And the 3rd is a camel bank that I ENTIRELY made using a original as a mold. I painted it and chipped and aged it up to look old.
