I bet the crystal rods are crystal healing wands like the ones seen at New Age festivals:

The amber bottle looks like a 2 oz. Boston bottle.

looking at your album, one of the drawers looks to be full of the mini nazi gold. Where ever did you find those?

Welcome back!

Started working on the pages of the book.

Congrats, Adam. That's a great piece.

Don't spend too much cash trying to track down the brown bottles. Those salt glazed stoneware ink bottles are popping up all over the place in the primitive antique markets in here the midwest. They can be had fairly cheaply. Below is an example that I picked up a couple of months ago. It's about 3 1/4" tall, 1 1/2" diameter a the base and looks to be a very close match to one of your box bottles.

If you can't find some in your area, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can scare up around here.

(Thanks for the image hosting, Wackychimp.)

Great work man

madrobot · 09-16-2008, 11:18 PM

I actually have some leather embossing plates with the BPRD logo on them for when I made some leather briefcases. I should break them out and do something with them.

asavage · 09-17-2008, 12:20 AM

Like make me some patches for my hellboy coat? Like that? Wow. Seriously great work guys. That woodcut looks fantastic. Also, thanks for the info for the brown bottles. I ordered 3 yesterday, along with 2 of those crystals ( I knew they would be something like that, just like a propmaker to look in a place like that).

Things should start to arrive in a couple days, I'll post more pix then...

madrobot · 09-17-2008, 08:03 AM

I was going to use these to emboss heavy leather. I need a brake press.

asavage · 09-17-2008, 11:52 AM

Dude,
Those are lovely! What are their sizes?

madrobot · 09-17-2008, 01:48 PM

the smaller die, is 3.5" to the outer edge of the text.

The large one, the circle logo is 6" and from the bottom of the text to the top, is 7"

I never got around to doing anything with them, but I will definitely make the effort now.

Wow... I could use a round leather patch like that one...

madrobot · 09-17-2008, 02:00 PM

Well, it's something I could probably do. It would be one hell of a tough patch to sew though. I still need to get a brake press.

I'll let the leatherworking guys worry about the sewing

madrobot · 09-17-2008, 02:07 PM

HA!

I'm going to need a brake press to get this rolling.

Looks like I'm off to Harbor Freight.

asavage · 09-17-2008, 09:02 PM

So I just received this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370084739270
as a go-with to the box. Price was right.
I should 'fess up. I been scoring the hb stuff a bit lately. In addition to the box, the Nazi Gold and the ankh, I also scored this pouch:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370079410157

I was looking for these, thinking they'd be easy to find, but they're not. Not with that kind of clasp. If anyone knows what they're called and where to find them, I'd like a couple more, as HB wears more than just 2 on his belt.

I'll scan the tarot card later tonight and post it.

There's a thread over in costuming about Abe's belt. I just posted some pictures of the original Hellboy belt over there. Looks like it had five of those pouches. The snaps on these are similar to the ones used on US military belt pouches in World War I, but the ones I've seen were a heavy cloth, not leather.

Sith Sheriff Brody · 09-17-2008, 10:39 PM

Ahhh! Twenty bucks!? @#!&%@!

Nice collection you've got going.

Regarding the 'Making of' book: no pics of the box besides the sketch already posted.

Regarding my small glass jar: it appears to be identical to the ones shown in the link I posted. They have a rather sharp 'shoulder' where the sides end and the neck begins. If that doesn't bother you (and it may be partially concealed by the leather lid), they might work.

So, what piqued your interest in Hellboy?

-Mike

madrobot · 09-17-2008, 11:16 PM

One Way Socket, and One Way Lift Studs. That's the kind of clasp you have.

Made by Snapfast. Their phone number is... 1-888-624-2058

The stud is an LDBB16358
The Socket is an LDBB16205
There's a plastic washer insert for it as well, and that part number is LDPL16510

Hope that helps.

asavage · 09-17-2008, 11:56 PM

Oh my GOD I love this board. That info helps a lot. I think my sewing machine can handle leather...

As for the bottles, I managed to find and order the ones in the picture posted earlier in this thread. They look perfect. 3 are coming and I'll post pix when they arrive.

Why the Hellboy collecting? It wasn't planned, but I couldn't pass on some of the ebay offerings. Then I kind of went hog wild. Bought Ilsa's ossuary from the Sammael birth scene as well.

From one Big Red fan to another, I salute you on your acquisitions.

asavage · 09-18-2008, 11:14 AM

That's YOU!? You were at Comicon right? If you were, sorry about the flickr photos that think that you were me...

Man, that is one attention grabbing costume, I probably got more attention as HB that I would have as just little old me.

madrobot · 09-18-2008, 11:17 AM

This is getting embossed. I'll post pics when I'm done.

So YOU are the one that outbid me on that!

No worries, as your collection is far and away bigger than mine. I'm just getting started.
