Yes, I will have to see how the final product turns out. And since it's a one-off, but doesn't require a mold or anything, I can make changes to the prototype before making the final product, without having any additional costs.

Is this still moving forward?

Ouch. I totally forgot about this. Will have an answer by tomorrow.

 

[TomVDJ]

Still interested over here. Also forgot about this project, to be honest ;-).

 

[goldcylon]

Me as well still in

Granted this has to be broken down into printable parts from Shapeways, but I never posted the final appearance before now.
So, here it is. Any final comments are welcome, I will likely complete the Shapeways order tomorrow.

Don't know about the gap between the key part and the cross to be honest. Don't have access to my bluray screencaps right now, but will take a look this evening.

 

[Jintosh]

Ah ! I think you're right. Screen caps are often hard to see, so I also used one of the better REPLICAS as a template.
This shows that the replica has a POST between gold and silver shaft. But it does not appear to be in the screen cap.
That's fixable. Thanks.

In attachments two screenshots (I have put the brightness up a bit). If I can help with some more screencaps, let me know. Happy to provide you with as much material as needed to make the perfect replica ;-)

Actually, the one thing I had left off, was around the silver "pearl" in the center. I can't tell anything from any screen cap about what is around the pearl.

 

[TomVDJ]

I don't know if it's really a pearl, actually. It might be a silver orb-like ornament. I know it's seen in the key that was made my the same juweler that made the screen used key, but I think the inner shape of the lily on this one and the screen used one might be a bit different (or it's just the angle, playing tricks on the eyes). But to me it seems the most inner petals of the screen used key (right) go more sharp towards each other than in the left one on the picture, leaving less place for that orb-thing.

Also attached a close-up of the Noble key. The orb-part is also there, but more "behind" than "between" the petals. I think that's also what I see in the screencap.

 

[Eurojunkman]

Checking for updates.

 

[TomVDJ]

Yeah, I'm also still very interested in this project...

 

[TomVDJ]

Bump for this thread. Jintosh , will this run still happen? I'm still very interested in a copy...

 

[Jintosh]

I got distracted again. This time by making my HA hero replica.

 

[Eurojunkman]

Please add me to the Interested list. Still want this.

 

[MandoJedi]

I am also interested!

 

[ColdVizjerei]

Still interested as well!

Hmmm....finally submitted my model. The gold cross part got rejected. The "serif" part of of each end of the cross comes to to fine of a point. The point is too thin. At .58, it would need to be .8 to pass. This would mean increasing the thickness by nearly 50%. I don't think I can do that and still have it accurate. Not too many other options out there to do this. I think this one is cancelled.
