My Green Lantern Movie ring by Bimmer

[Bimmer]

Again, thank you everyone for the kind words. This project has been a long time coming so i'm very glad it has paid off and come out so well. I must admit that i cannot take full credit for how this ring has turned out. I've worked in close collaboration with my good friend Christoph over at Batjeepster Rings (on Facebook, or Customized Hero on this board) and we tweaked the design until we got it to what it is now.

If you are a Green Lantern or just comic book fan in general, you'd love some of the stuff he's putting out and should definitely become a fan of his page to see the latest and greatest Batjeepster Rings.

This ring will be made available through the fan page in resin, stainless and silver bands. I will be doing the stainless versions while Christoph will be doing the resin and silver versions.

If you have any questions please message me or Christoph on his page.

I was able to get some more work done tonight on some of the other rings. I have 4 total that i ordered so thats what i'm working with.

Here are 3 of them. 1 finished, 2 still needed glass gems

And the finished one, currently a size 10.

In your first pics 3 of the 4 were clear instead of green. Are you using paint or die to color them green?

 

[Bimmer]

Its a series of dye processes that isn't very much fun to do, but produces great results

Excellent work, great job.

Very very nice. The detail is pretty amazing.

 

[Bimmer]

Thanks man. I haven't clear coated the ring yet, so the green will be shinier when its done

 

[SuperheroDIY]

Wow looks really awesome!! Really great job!

 

[Wolfdagon]

Looks great Bimmer. I really like the texture on the band. Is it silver?

 

[KitSmasher]

sweet - what did you use to cast the ring or is it pre-made?

Actually the band is stainless.

Nice job!

Thank you. That means a lot coming from you!

The metal is stainless and the gem piece is is a transparent resin tinted green

This looks great.:thumbsup
Are you planning to darken the band a bit like on your previous version ?

Good question

I used a black oxidizing method on the band to achieve the weathering. Its permanent and not a paint or anything. i'm really pleased with it

Not the greatest pictures, but these are taken during the day with the sunlight coming through my window

 

[JKKS]

This is amazing.:eek
Great work Ian, you achieved, wich is probably the most possibly accurate replica of the movie ring.

How did you made the resin top looking clearer than in your previous pics ?

 

[Bimmer]

Thank you! The previous pictures didn't have clear coat on the top. It makes a world of difference and really gives it that "finished" look

I do not know if it has been asked, but are you thinking about offering these in th JY or is this a one-only item?
