I've seen those gold plating pen type applicators? anyone tried them?
I think such a Grantasaurus could be made by routing  full size grant card,
no?

Do you really have access to plastic injection molding equipment
to make pdp8/11 handles?  Might be possible to pour acrylic or resin
but they might be to fragile.. the moulding is the tough part unless
one can make a breakaway plaster mould from positive masters....
