NEW! (Metal) Cross of Coronado - Progress Thread
- Thread starter RelicMaker
- Start date
No!:unsure
I just realised that they're coming from China. So, it could be tomorrow or next week when they arrive.
I think I'm just going to go ahead and start doing the molds anyway. The gem settings are being molded seperate from the ***** and the cross. So, when the pearls arrive and they don't fit. Then it won't be too much trouble to make another mold for the adjusted settings.

Good thinking!

Hey Brenton,
Your cross is coming along brilliantly!!!! Sorry if I have missed this but are you going more for the look of agent5's picture he posted or the video game cross picture. I read earlier as if these two images are the same but I can clearly see the differences...? I know I am probably getting confused so I apologise for this question!!!!! The way I see it is agent5's pic the right hand is further down on the cross, the video game picture the right hand is well over the pearl inlay??
If going for agent5's pic the only change I would have made is to reshape a very very small amount around the top left shoulder of the corpus around the hairline (the side the head is leaning away from, not into) it appears agent5's pic just shows a fraction more of the disc.... I hope this makes sense, if not I will try and explain more what I mean!! But apart from that, I can not wait to see the finished cross, you do amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!

You're right! You missed it! This topic has already been discussed.
Plus, there will be no more changes, since the sculpt is finished and will not be changed. The sculpt went through some minor changes to match the game pic, which turns out to be the cross that is seen on film. The only changes made has been to the hair, rib cage, and cloth wrap.

Would you like fries with that????????
Update:
There's good news and bad news!
The good news is that I'm doing the molds today!thumbsup
The bad news is that I got the pearls in and they're not what I expected!:unsure
I ordered the Freshwater Pearls, and the bad thing is, is they're not perfectly round, and a little too irregular for my taste. There are some that are perfectly round, but there's only a few out of a hundred that are that way. So, I'm not going to order hundreds of pearls just to get the perfectly round ones out of the bunch.
There's also the Akoya Saltwater Pearls, which come from China as well. They look more round in the pics, but I'm too nervous to order them and wait another month to have them be irregular in shape too. We just don't have the time for that!
So, I've made the decision to just use simulated pearls instead. I found some great quality ones, which are enamel cream, true weight, and do not have any holes drilled in them. These are coming from the UK and I hope to have them sooner than the ones that came from China.
Here's what they look like:
