[QUOTE="Stevena, post: 4458976, member: 93663"] Thanks for the compliments. I thought about having It weathered, but at the end, I decided to just let it age naturally from use. I will have this for years to come and have an extra blank diary book I can insert when this one is full. At the very beginning I was thinking "okay, do I want another prop to display, or something I can use everyday and enjoy?" The hardest thing about this project was making this functional. Props have to look good for the screen, but functionality is the last thing that's worried about. So there were many obstacles when it came to that. For instance, Sarednab's copy is stitched together which is great for durability, but the original is not stitched, (aside from postage pockets.) When you are trying to make the worlds most close copy, you run into little issues all the time, which have to be worked through instead of pushing aside, so the end result can be that much more believable. Something as simple looking as the clasp, was actually the most problematic part of this entire build. The devil is in the details as they say. [/QUOTE]
