The Weapon Enchanting Effects Plan

If you guys are wondering how I am planning to do the enchant effects, here is the plan:

1) Make the weapon using bits, plastic card & green stuff.
2) Make a mold of the weapon.
3) Cast the weapon in two part resin.
4) Take the cast and mold the enchant effect onto the weapon using green stuff.
5) Make a mold of the enchant effect.
6) Cast a second weapon using the weapon mold.
7) Paint the weapon as desired.
8) Take the painted weapon and place it into the enchant effect mold (Only the part of the weapon that features the enchant will be in the mold)
9) Fill the enchant mold with clear epoxy.
10) Remove the weapon and ink wash the cured clear epoxy to match the desired enchant.

For poison and Savagery effects, I will use a got glue gun to get the driping effect on a painted weapon and ink wash with the desired color.

It all looks good on paper, can't wait to see if it will really work!
