Labyrinth JARETH Necklace prop

[chuckyAPP]

Hello everyone, I started this a while ago, just got around to molding and casting it up. Its the necklace/pendant from the movie Labyrinth that Jareth played by David Bowie wears. It was very difficult to find referance for this piece. Someone took a photo of the actual prop at a convention and that is what i was able to base the size of it from using the hand holding it as a guide, as well as screen grabs.

This is the actual propfrom the movie:

This is my sculpt in progress:

These are the final pulls from the mold:

Got your pm. That thing is a beauty. I has to dance when I saw this.

 

[chuckyAPP]

Thanks amish,,,,, may do a run if there its interest.

 

[frosty]

you did a great job, you should try one in a bronze resin mix, works well on stuff like this

 

[chuckyAPP]

Thanks frosty,,,,, its that a powder that mixes into the resin? Never tried it.

 

[frosty]

yeah, you add it to the resin, and dust the mould with it to, works well, i add quite a lot to my mixes, but experiment with it, works great with any fastcast, easyflo etc.

Thanks frosty,,, ordering some bronze powder. Ill try doing a chrome version while I wait.

Oh memories...i watched that movienso much i think my dad brokenthe video on purpose lol. Awesome job!

 

[Valdez]

Awesome depending on price (of course) I have some interest. My girlfriend would love it....Might take two.

 

[chuckyAPP]

Thanks for the kind words

Wondering how people would like these if/when offered, kit form as seen, raw unpainted needing finishing and painting, or fully finished/painted?

 

[Amish Trooper]

I would most likely go the finished route. Price of coarse being the determiner. Either way I'm in for 1.

 

[chuckyAPP]

I just realized that the chrome pendant is different from the one I've made so these will ask be bronze. The bronze pendant was worth in the movie during the , mc escher scene withthe staircases (best scene of the movie imo). Perhaps ill do the the chrome one after this.

OK, here are some test paints with an imperfect pull from the mold. I used a braided leather twine also as a test. What doyou think?

Again this is not a final casting, the tips on this one actually didnt cast, this is for color reference only.

I love your project. I just wish it was a cast from the real prop...

 

[Amish Trooper]

I think it looks great bud. Coming along nicely.

I love your project. I just wish it was a cast from the real prop...
