Never Ending Story The Book

[AspieCrow]

Dude, that is AWESOME! It might not be 100% accurate, but it's still fantastic!

How did you do it, out of curiosity?

Very pleased you like it!

Well firstly I hunted down a suitable high quality leather sketch/note book (A4 210 X 297) with about 60 odd blank pages.

I embossed the border line by wetting the leather and simply applying pleasure with a blunt tool.

For the lettering I went for the old fashioned letraset method, unfortunately I couldn't get the right size or font.

I made the Filigrees & Auryn in clay then molded with Silicon and Cold Cast in Bronze Powder and treated for antique effect. I attached these with a flexible permanent adhesive.

:thumbsup

When you get your post count up you really should make a sale thread for the Filigrees & Auryn.

I created my own handmade version of this book for a friend last year. It's by no means perfect or completely accurate of course, but I tried to capture the spirit of it anyway, and it was fun to make.

What book did you start with?

I stumbled across this thread the other day and have been obsessed with trying to recreate this book now. I read earlier that the book is not public domain. Is the script public domain?

I met my first girlfriend because of this movie a long time ago. She's the only ex I've had that I still talk to and don't want dead, but I sort of messed things up recently with an arguement and would like to make it up to her by giving her this book that I know she's always wanted.

As a matter of fact, a few minutes ago she actually wrote on Facebook that she still really wanted this book and asked me if it was for sale somewhere, then I remembered this thread and wonders if any of these books will ever be for sale?


I know about the copyright stuff for the real book's story and that the book is smaller than the one in the movie, but here's a solution for you - - If people want the original book in this movie book, then wouldn't it be possible to print some sort of fancy patterned frame in the size of the original book's pages in the movie book? This way anyone could buy the prop replica, then legally buy the original book that they then own legally and could do anything they want to it such as eat the pages, draw on the pages, wipe your butt with them, oooooor glue them into the pages of the movie book to make it look like it should specially be that strange way.

You'd need two of the original books since you'll be glueing half the story to the movie book, but there you have my weird idea if that helps any...


Or just print the replica movie book with the original story and hope no one will care....

I've always wanted my own replica of the book and I've just finished making my own. Its not screen accurate but close enough for me!

What do you guys think?

P.S. This was my first attempt at cold casting.

thats awesome I was wondering can you remake the filigree?

 

[OzDean]

The spacing is not correct - I'm using it as a cover for my sketchbook. But I made the Auryn and all the filagrees myself - no molds!
