Next came the construction of the spiked metal ball, to
which a rubber dog toy made the perfect ball and I had some cone studs already. I sanded the brand logo from the ball's surface and set about making two largish holes for the chain to be attached. When this was done I used bolt cutters to cut the end of a chain link in half, this was to be the piece to be glued inside of the rubber ball. I filled the holes with araldite super glue and held the chain link in place til it was dry.
I made a series of holes in the ball and applied super glue and pushed in the
spikes on the bottom of the stud. The slight issue I had with the studs were that they didn't always go all the way into the ball so there was a very small gap between the stud and the ball.
I painted it with multiple coats of black paint and matt
glaze with metal powder and hints of brown to try and blend it with the chain.
Some more coats of matt glaze were added to fix the paint and metal powder.
