Re: The Saint ---------------------------- Simon Templar's Knife
Here's Saint Knife v 2.0. I can't seem to find a good way to paint the black between the "ribs" on the sides of the knife.
Other than that it's turning out nice.
Version 3.0 will have the lock picks.

If you do a "wash" of watered down black acrylic paints on the ribbed area then wipe away the paint with a cloth it will leave the paint in the recesses. It is a simple weathering technique. Thats how I would do it.

Yes, the computer screen turned out really nice. And I added tiny "gemstones" to do the colored bulbs.
Thanks brandomack and wisemonk5421 .
I'll see which idea works best in my situation.

Lock picks, just like a screwdriver or a hammer, are just tools. I own many sets of them. As an Auto Tech, the tool truck guys, (Snap-On, Matco), sell lock pick sets all the time.
I've never heard of any legality issue with them. It's just like anything else, use common sense when using them.

That looks AWESOME! You've done a real nice with all the detailing. Really looks the part, imho.
I've always been a big fan of the film, so if ever you chose to do a run of these, I'd be interested :cool

Thanks ! I have my chrome finish knife case, but haven't had a chance to paint it. Painting's not really my thing. But the chrome really shines !
I'll post pictures when I get it painted.

Thanks ! My current one will have the chrome blade AND case, and hopefully the lockpicks as well.

Hey Jintosh, Love your work very exceptional indeed.
I was looking around and read that you will be making a v3.0
I am very interested in adding one to y collection it will look great next to the pin.
I was wondering how I would get my hands on one and how much they will be.
Cheers

I think I'll offer the case in the Ultra detail acrylic, and the rhodium plated metal. Unfortunately, the rhodium (chrome) case will be Extremely expensive. Like, "Do I really want to pay THAT" expensive. I'm still trying to get around to painting the chrome version with lock picks. New projects keep popping up.
I hear you bud, every single time I work on a prop, and then watch a new movie im torn and end up veering off course.... 
Main hinge Fail !! It is design that works in plastic but fails in metal because of the lower resolution of the metal.
I'll have to redesign the main hinges.
The hinges on the lock picks failed because the hinges on the knife case won't GIVE to accept the pegs on each side of the lock pick.
Not sure how to redo these.
Love the Chrome case though.

Almost finished. Next version will be the final one. It'll have the paint job, chrome case and blade, working hinges and lock picks, and the "bulbs" (not lit up).
I didn't add the red and green bulbs to this one because of the hinge fail, but I went ahead and did the paint job to see how it would look.
