Yup, that was me. Made it into xbox, playstation, and PC gamer magazine here in the states, and a few across the pond as well. Blew my mind!
I'm making 5 duplicates right now. I'm not going to do any more full builds after that, though I may offer them in a kit if I can figure out a good way to mold the barrel.
Yeah, the paint is a blue/grey base coat, still trying to find the best (base) colour for this piece.
In the pilot episode, the “hope” part looks blue/grey on screen, on the pictures shown in ‘The making of TSCC’ the part looks more green. It’s a bit confusing…
I think I’m gonna paint the part as shown in the pilot.
The last part of my project, I'd guesstimate its' taken a solid 4 afternoons to finish up.
The fiberglass and bondo is very forgiving when you're making pre-historic looking armor
Although I'm not really sure it qualifies, since almost all I did was apply the decals. However, the cap took me quite a bit of time. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I want to buy a bottle of JWB to fill it...
On top of the Cross of Coronado that I'm doing, I'm also making the necklace that the Maharaja wore in Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom.
I've ordered a pretty accurate Indian/Afghan choker necklace to be used as the base. Plus, the metal monkey skulls that I used on the Voodoo pin that I made earlier this year, will be modified to be used for the necklace.
On top of all that, I've acquired some real lion claws to be adorning the necklace between the skulls!thumbsup
I'll also be sculpting and casting the metal setting bracket for the claws as well...
You'll notice in the screencap, the Maharaja is having a wardrobe malfunction with the center skull starting to come off.;-)
