:devil Yeah! Here's to hoping the third mold works like a charm. :cheers
Holly guacamole! Man, I just discovered this thread, and it BLEW my mind. Gotta love Lovecraft and all his world! My brother and I are huge Lovecraft geeks, though he's more into the Cthulhu mythos than I am. I myself think nothing can beat his Dream Cycle, but Cthulhu and the other Elders are just GENIUS. And fella, I gotta say you nailed it! I haven't ever really liked any portrayal from Lovecraft's world except Jason Thompson's (aka Mockman), but your Cthulhu is perfect! Congratulations! And I certainly look forward to having one of these sooner or later!

Damn I want a finished version of these so badly, I can't wait for these to be done.
Getting close fellas. I promise a good update really soon.
The text will look silly to Tibetans but I promise it looks awesome to everybody else. The letter shapes have a really wonderful quality to them.

And the Christmas deadline should be doable if one more factor lines up correctly. I'll know in the next day or so.
Parts for the stand have been cut!
I'm getting better with the old table saw (I think I need a better blade though. The cuts aren't nearly as clean as I'd like.) and picked up miter saw to help with making accurate angle cuts. My woodworking skills are pretty feeble but slowly getting better.
Now a bunch of sanding, gluing, staining and sealing ahead.

I have been following this thread for a while and I would love to purchase a casting as well! I've been a Lovecraft fan for some time now and this is one of the best interpretation of the Cthulhu statue I've seen. Just wondering though, is it hollow casting or a solid casting?
Solid. I really want it to feel HEAVY to give the impression of stone.

Also while waiting for this amazing idol, you should read some of the stories that inspired Lovecraft himself, here:
Cryptofiction | Fictional Stories of Cryptozoology
Including The Damned Thing, The Novel of the Black Seal (a major influence on The Call of Cthulhu!) and The Red Hand (quoted in The Horror at Red Hook).
Enjoy!
