Gun Mold for Ice Gun

A few months ago I had a project come in where the client needed a gun made out of ice for a photo shoot. My first thought was to go the vacuum forming route, but after I did a little research I didn't think I could get the level of details I need for a close up shot of the gun. So I decided to go with a mold and use actual ice. Below are a couple of shots of the molding process ending with the finished mold. I ended up making around 6 ice guns since I knew they wouldn't last long under the lights. I did however make a clear plastic gun to stand in so the photographer could get the lighting just right.
