Re: The Omen: Daggers of Megiddo replica
I'm holding off posting new pics of the handle resculpt until it's ready to show, but it won't be long..
In the meantime, I have received my quotations for the steel blades, materials and so on and arrived at a guide price for these.
After looking at all the options, including financial cosiderations per unit, this is what I have decided to pursue:
The handles will be resin, cast around a high quality,alloy steel triangular blade.
The blades used in Damien:Omen II and The Final Conflict were triangular steel blades. The blades used in The Omen were also predominantly triangular but with each edge slightly flattened down to give 6 blade 'faces' (3 thick, 3 thin) when viewed up close. After much consideration I feel that a triangular blade is the way to go with this, as it most closely represents what is seen on screen for the majority of the original Omen trilogy. Additionally, if someone wanted to customise their dagger/s to exactly match the first movie, it would not be too difficult to file/ grind down the edges of the triangular blade to create the three thin faces on the edges, thus giving the 6-sided blade.
So, the triangular blades will come as standard - however, if someone REALLY wanted the 6 sided blade I am able to arrange this with my engineering works, but an additional cost will be applied per dagger. Please negotiate this with me individually.
30 daggers will be made in total:-
Full set of 7 daggers, with leather wrap / carry case and some other display goodies - PM or email me for price details
Individual dagger, with it's own 'mini' leather wrap - PM or email me for price details
As I am keeping the first set of 7 daggers, there will only be 2 full sets available and 9 individual daggers available.
As I have yet to show the final sculpt pics, I don't expect anyone to commit at this stage, but please indicate your interest now by PMing me or emailing me on ob1al@btinternet.com
Cheers,
Al
