NEW! (Metal) Cross of Coronado - Progress Thread

Just checking in to see how your cross is coming along. Thanks for the updates and fielding what seems to be an endless stream of questions. I find this facinating.

Happy Holidays.

LC has been out long enough now that you would think someone out there would have been able to do a screen accurate version a bit sooner - but this one looks to be 'the' replica of this prop, anywhere in the world. Fantastic work - watch out for those grave robbers!
 
Update:

Good news! The Akoya Pearls are in, they work great and are nice and round! They don't fit in real tight, since they range in a size difference of 6.5mm-7mm, but is barely noticeable.
So, I will be using real pearls for the cross!:love:thumbsup

I've got the cross back from being gold-plated and aged and it looks awesome!!!:eek
I now just have to get the almighty "Rebelscum" to help me out in laser cutting some custom fit Mother of Pearl inlay for it. I don't have time to take a picture of it right now, but I hope to finish it soon to show it off complete.:love:thumbsup

I hope everyone's having a great holiday!:cheers
