Great job! That's a ton of work, it paid off though.

Thanks! I am really happy with it. Finished it yesterday and hope to get a couple final glamour shots today!

Thanks - I am so pleased to get it all done in one period before I have to return to client builds!

Step 27: Clear Coat and Necklace

I sprayed a clear coat of gloss enamel on the headpiece and then finished the work on the necklace ready to attach the prop.

Step 28: Setting the Gem and attaching the Necklace

Final steps! I am really pleased with how the gem and bezel came together! Finished it off with attaching the chain that can easily be removed.

FINISHED

Wow - what an amazing journey this has been! I am so pleased I was able to complete it all before I start back on client projects tomorrow - such a blessing!

I am super happy with how the prop turned out and had a bunch of fun putting together a silly little version of the Raven Saloon scene for glamour shots.

Please let me know if you have any questions on the build - thanks for the support along the way!

Cheers!

This came out really well! A beautiful replica. I'm such a fan of hands-on, good ol' fashioned sculpture. I never would have the courage. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the super kind words! I love building from scratch - the challenge is awesome. It has only been in the last year though that I have ventured into the more "sculpture" types of projects. Don't sell yourself short - give it a try!
