Screencaps etc. are welcome. I was thinking of gettinf one water jet with lazer engraving, but I have no reference for them.

If someone is selling them, please let me know.

Here's a quick sketch of what I invision.

The problem is that I can't decipher hardly any of the text. I placed dummy text where I can't decipher the original words.

Can someone get the exact wording? I'm extremely interested in this project if we can get all the details correct.

You can see the words pretty clearly in my screencaps in this thread. The words say: FIAT IUSTITIA ET PIRIAT MUNDUS (Let justice be done, though the world be destroyed), with a couple of variations. Some of them are written in reverse (mirrored).

 

[franz bolo]

I have no clue to Latin, if that's what it is. Thanks for the translation.

I was using those same screencaps and you can see what I saw.

If someone can tell me what all the parts say, I'll redo the graphic.

I also need to change the font, but for now that one works ok.

Here are the zones of text that needs to be deciphered:

1) It looks like there are 2 rings of text around each finger hole.
2) Each knuckle area has text.
3) The bottom area and center.


thanks

p.s. thanks Nexus6 for the great reference pics.

Correct. Around each hole the inner circle reads (clockwise): "FIAT IUSTITIA ET PIRIAT MUNDUS PIRIAT ET STITIA", then the outer ring reads the exact same phrase mirrored (counterclockwise).

...More to come.

The text that reads vertically between the HOLY & SPIRITUS is pretty muddled in these caps. Near as I can tell, it looks to be "ET CONSTANTINE ___________".

I'll have to see about getting some additional shots. :unsure

 

[franz bolo]

Great Job...

I'll add the text today.

Thanks

Is it IUSTITIA or IUSTICIA?

To expand on what you see, it looks like it says, "ET CONSTANTINE ___SPQR__".

SPQR is an initialism for the Latin phrase Senatus Populusque Romæ. The translation is "The Senate and the People of Rome". Perhaps this is in reference to the Pope or the Vatican?

 

[franz bolo]

Updated text changes.

The width of these are 4.5" right now. Does anyone have a clue as to the correct width/height?

The first one.

On a trivial note, the word "PIRIAT" is actally misspelled on the hero. The actual spelling is "PEREAT".

Pretty darn cool, my friend. Great job.

Did LeMarchand ever finish his? Maybe he's got some info to share...

Is the other side of this exactly the same?
