Wow, Big Difference. I wonder who the original maker was.

This prop is cool, but it could have been much a better design.

Thanks for the pics. Really good stuff. It's adding the NEXT LEVEL to the artwork.

Awesome. I think we should strive to make the idealized version where text sizes match up and are as clean as possible. The front side looks to be the best example of the prop makers taking care in making the prop. Thanks for the grat pics, and descriptions.

no idea what "ET CONTANTINUUM SPORATIS" means

but Holy Spiritus means "Holy Breath"
"Demon" means to prove, to indicate, show, describe, explain

It still looks like gibberish to me. Keeping in mind I'm going back like 18 years for this:

Et = "and" or "also"

Contantinuum could be a combination/misspelling of 2 words: "contantis" & "num", which IIRC, would be something like: "hesitant" & num being: "if", "whether", or "surely not".

Sporatis is meaningless to me. *shrugs*

BTW, the only definition I can recall for the word 'Demon', is with an implied 'a', as in 'Daemon', which would be 'evil spirit'.

I dunno i got these translations from a teacher at my old high school.

BUMP FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
ALL YOUR THREAD ARE BELONG TO ME.​

 

[franz bolo]

I'll try to update the drawing as soon as I get a tracing and some closer pics from D48thRonin.

I'll post more things as soon as I get something.

good good, I do not want to see this thread fade away.

 

[temponaut]

Any activity here? How's the piece coming along? :confused

 

[franz bolo]

I just got some great info from D48thRonin.

I should have some revisions up as soon as I can get to work on it.

Thanks again D48thRonin.

Not a problem, fellow Timmy

Looking really good, guys.

Tim(s): what's the best way to create these characters and line art in the master - laser engraving? acid etching? I'm not too familiar with the process, but I recall that a couple of members here have some experience with one or the other: wynnstudio, appliedmetal, propsculptor, and maybe a few others. Worth contacting them if you don't have a method locked down yet.

Good luck.

Good Question Prop Runner???

I've been looking into different methods, but none are cost effective enough.
I'll keep looking. Maybe the other Tim might know.

Here's the newest rendition. The type is idealized slightly, because I didn't like how the type goes of the cast.

Also, the pinky side (right) is made a little larger than the original. Proportionately it looks better I think. The pinky wall is to thin on the original and all the type gets lost. Plus if you jack someone in the jaw, you don't want the metal to bend. :lol

My original design was way off on the outline and type. This version is real close to the cast one. The Floral pattern I did was pretty close though. I'll fine tune it, then put it all together in my next update.

Now we need some creative types to step up and produce this thing.. I bet I can cut the floral pattern out of Linoleum, maybe even wax, but I don't know the first thing about casting. I would like to find someone passionate about the prop to help produce it.

Didn't someone here post that they just bought a 3D machine tha's able to engrave?
(think it was wynnstudio)

Wonder if that'd work with this project?

*ss*

Spectacular. :thumbsup

 

[TimDrakeRobin]

This is looking so damn good. We just need someone who can make it to step forward.

No one is going to pick this up? Come on.

Okay, I can look into making this, but I'd need to know who will 100% commit to it. It'd also help to have a CAD file. I've used *.DWF files in the past, but CAD programs can usually export in whatever file.

Anyway, I'd need to know a number. That's the most important thing in getting this made, because no shop will touch a project if you approach with no clue as to how many you want.

 

[TimDrakeRobin]

I'm IN.

Fresh out of the Holy Mold..

 

[wynnstudio]

I didn't read the whole thread yet so not sure what you are looking for 100%

I can make a master out of acrylic if that is what you need. Just need some files.

let me know.

[synasp]

if it's possible to make brass casts from that acrylic master, we may be on a roll...
