Hi, and thank you for your kind words. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I honestly haven't been back to the forums since a few months after I made this last post. As for the model, the current real-life version is completely 3D printed aside from the glass and the uprights which are just brass rods. The color comes from rub-n-buff if you can believe it. Painting and weathering have never been my best skills, and I was never completely satisfied with this as the final version of the lamp, so for the last year or so, I've been teaching myself the ins and outs of metal casting in my back yard. As you can see, just the base of the lamp is quite complex with lots of undercuts, so I've been testing out various techniques (sand casting, lost foam, ceramic shell, etc.) and I'm about ready to start making some full-size tests for the different lamp parts. Of course I'll put the final results in the thread. The attached picture is of an early aluminum cast of a silver ingot also from Dishonored 2. Still some room for improvement.
Having checked your Instagram, I immediately spotted your Dishonored 2 raven and saw that you expressed an interest in ripping models from the game and printing and finishing them yourself. If you're ever interested, I have found a way to rip models from the game. The raven is nice, but I'd love to have a wooden version of that horse bust you see around Karnaca, and pretty much everything else from the game as well if I'm honest. Let me know if I can get you anything, and thanks again for the advice and support.
