Blood Diamonds: Progress

Today I made lots of progress! I Wish I had made even more but I have been working for the last 10 hours straight and I think I need to take a break. My goal for today was to get as many waxes done for blood diamonds as possible. I did a good bit as well as cleanup on some and spruing for some others. Here are the pictures.




First I made the other two tools that we need for the game pieces. The shovel, and a mallet. The pictures do not show the mallet, it still needs to be cleaned up.



These are two simple x's that I made. The will be used as markers during the game. They are now cleaned up and sprued!



Next I made the 2 dice we need. They still need to be engraved on each side, but other than that they are already all cleaned and ready to be sprued. The picture is pretty bad, sorry.




Lastly, I sprued the gold bars that we made a few weeks ago, along with the x's and the pickaxe. Here are a few images. All in all, I would say it was a pretty successful day. Still a ton of work to go, but we are that much closer.
