Here comes another Grail Diary

[KiloLima]

Great work. I haven't had a chance to work on mine as of late. Holiday season and work kept me pretty busy. Now its playoff season for the NFL.

Quick question. I'm starting my own Grail Diary. Are you using ballpoint pen? What're you using to write and transfer the pages?

Personally I went for the digital font. That way I could recreate as many times as I wanted too and correct mistakes as well.
I get that handwriting it all out is ultimately very satisfying but I don’t have the patience and given im constantly updating my digital version to keep up with new discoveries from the original diary.
The one below I did a Year ago and since then I have made changes and will reprint and build a new diary from scratch sometime soon.

I need to find out what the first page is.

The kit was labeled as signature 1 through 10. First pic is the first page of signature 1 , second is the last page of signature 1. Is this the first page of the book. ???View attachment 1337359View attachment 1337360

An easy thing to do.

Completely starting over AGAIN, but this time, making the book AGAIN (but actually finished this new one)
Actually, not really a fair assessment seeing how I pretty much finished my story version. I just didn't weather it or add the inserts. I may go back and finish it; however, I kept thinking about the hero and wanted to do that one. So, this is where we are.

In the process of putting all the pages together, then I will sort them out into traceable pages, transfer to the book and go back over the trace with ink.

So, my book is completed and very happy with the outcome, look and feel. It bends and folds just like seen on the movie screen. I lightly weathered it so far, but plan to really beat it up as I go along. I didn't distress the pages yet because the last time I wrote in aged paper, I kept hitting dead spots where my ink didn't want to cooperate. Plenty of time to beat up this project after completion

I'm missing a few pages, mostly text and map pages. I have the rest and I will begin to make my carbon tracing templates once I find the missing pages.

I was giving a link to the text layout for the story version that I was working on. Is there a link to the hero text??
Yes, I went through COW and Zen but still coming up a few pages short. Unfortunately, the activity on those sites are lower than before, and most people are using /Facebook. Now with all the paper stealing Pirates out there, it's getting hard to get information because they're skeptical I will steal and sell. I have a job that pays me. I Don't need to steal

Looking good. I need to look more into making one of these. Such a cool artifact.
