I’ve been working on this large brass kilt buckle, covered with Scottish thistles.
It was a bit of a challenge, I had to make a silicone rubber mould of the original, have that cast in wax, then have that wax cast in brass, and then for me to clean it up (shaping and polishing) and then attach the back buckle bits.
It’s a replica of a solid silver antique Scottish piece - which is too precious to be worn daily by its kilt wearing Scottish owner.
I’m now sending it away for silver plating, and then the centre pin will be attached.
