What a great way to display a key or keyring Bill. I guess this was a Billiant idea.May 13, 2024
I received this Overlook Hotel Key Fob from The Shining (1980), purchased from RPF user Chettus. It's engraved acrylic, fully realized on both sides!

For the key, I found a vintage Taylor 54 KS key on eBay, which looks like a VERY close match to the film version.

For displaying it, I took a piece of wood plank and literally chopped it up with a camping axe! Then I gave it a dark walnut stain and a gloss clear-coat. The doorknob is the closest match I could find: a Kwikset Tylo Entry Door Knob from Amazon. I disassembled it and affixed the keyhole half to the plank with some screws. The Taylor key fits in the Kwikset keyhole nicely.

(Yes, I know Jack chopped up a different door than the one for Room 237, but sometimes folks need an assist for recognizing!)

I just got off the freeway about 20 minutes back. I-5 North in Oregon. We were passed by a car with a Goonies sticker and I joked to my buddy that they might be from Astoria because we were maybe 10 miles from the junction to head that way. Nope, Idaho license plate, too funny. But maybe he was headed to see the house, who knows.May 31, 2024
I received this Spanish Doubloon from The Goonies (1985), after learning that the one I previously had acquired was a recast of RelicMaker 's fine doubloon. Luckily, he had inventory available and I was able to replace it!

It's thick, it's heavy, and it's beautifully finished! Its poor copy seems "shriveled" and and "fuzzy" in detail by comparison.

RelicMaker's version is absolutely the most accurate out there!

(I'm thinking I need to add some crusty dirt for authenticity...just not sure how to do that just yet.)
Loving this one, definitely ups the game for detail. I have a few very small jewelry pieces that took me as long as whole costumes but they stand out as my favorites later.June 3, 2024
I FINALLY finished this Dream's Ruby Pendant from The Sandman (TV), a combination of real jewelry parts and resin 3D printed parts.

In order to get as accurate as possible, I significantly modified the files I had purchased on Cults 3D. After modifying and printing the gold frame, it was finished in Alclad II Polished Aluminum over white gloss, then tinted. The ruby was printed in clear red resin, then finely sanded and coated in Quick Shine Floor Wax. The chain and jewelry connectors are gold-plated.

(This one was on the bench for a long time while I hunted for the right chain and the jewelry bits--bail and jump rings--that go with it! I loev that this hobby teaches me new things all the time!)
WHAAAAAT? PERFECT!!June 3, 2024

Kudos+ on doing the true electoplate. I use my kit to do the advanced oxidation weathering for metal relics.June 6, 2024
I received this Paimon Pendant from Hereditary (2018). The pendant and chain came from two different Etsy sellers.

The pendant was originally made in stainless steel, and I was able to (mostly) electroplate it in gold using a cheap home kit. No paint!

(This is a replica of the three-headed version of the demon Paimon's symbol, which was designed that way for the movie. The real sigil of Paimon normally has four heads.)
