Teamfight Tactics Golden Spatula Trophies

A set of three Golden Spatula trophies for Teamfight Tactics: a mirror-finish gold spatula rising through a translucent blue vortex on a chromed, faceted base with an engraved medallion.

The challenge

Make a spatula worth lifting on stage.

The trophy had to turn a deliberately silly in-game item into a serious award: a true mirror finish on the spatula, a clear, bubble-free cast vortex, and three identical pieces.


The approach

Hoku modeled and printed the parts, sanded and washed them through a multi-stage process for a plating-grade surface, cast the vortex in tinted clear resin, chromed the base sections, and finished the medallions in aged gold.
