That's what I was waiting to hear! Your rings put DC Direct's TO SHAME! And I can state that as FACT because I've finally received my DC Direct Movie Power Ring Prop Replica!Thanks guys. It's really great when you're satisfied with your own work, but it really is exciting and humbling when other people appreciate all the hard hours that have been put in. I appreciate your comments!
I've modified my design slightly to be more accurate to whats seen in the end credits scene and am now waiting on a prototype for that. When that one gets here and i finish it, i think i'll be ready to call it done and make a few more of them
Not used to seeing the yellow ring with the same texture as the green (I honestly can't remember how it looked in the film, and pictures aren't as readily available as that concept image), but this looks good I'll be anxious to see what the final version looks like.
Just curious, is the yellow made with the same difficult dye process that the green was?
Bimmer, excelent job. You should be very proud.

Time to start saving up my dough...
well the good thing about the concept ring over the movie ring is that its considerably easier to make and replicate the smooth look. So i'm sure i'll do both versions
Thanks for the compliment!
We both use shapeways for printing, as well as a few other people here. There's a trick to get the bits colored. I like the texture, and I agree that the band is bumpy in the film, and smooth in the book pictures. Great work!
Unfortunately, Bimmer has stopped talking about his movie rings and has also stopped communicating with his (now former?) business partner, Batjeepster/customizedhero. He also has not replied to Private Messages I sent him asking for an update on the rings. Nobody knows what's going on... except for Bimmer himself.Any updates on this? I just got Bats 2814, and this would be the perfect companion piece.

It really is a shame, though. He went to all the trouble to design and develop THE BEST replicas anyone has made of these rings, and now he's NOT going to do anything with them? He has G'nort only knows how many fans lined up, ready to buy them, and now he's NOT going to sell them? It's a real shame.
