Twenty Treasures of Zork

Hey all - I know someone tried these a few years ago, but I've made quite a bit of progress so I figured I would post these up.

Zork has always been one of my all time favorite games series.

I'm about half way done collecting and/or crafting each of the items.

Awesome! Although, the canary and the egg do not seem to be exactly "screen accurate". What I mean is that the canary should be golden with ruby-colored eyes and a silvery beak, while the egg should appear to have lapis lazuli and mother of pearl on it. Would you want to paint the canary to match the game description?
Are you going to make or get the other treasures of Zork?
For the Zork prop collectors on this forum: the twenty treasures of Zork also include a royal scepter, a platinum bar, a brass bauble, a painting, a crystal skull (easy to acquire online for a prop collector), a crystal trident, an ivory torch, a pot of gold, and a trunk of jewels along with the treasures shown in Marc Wagner's Imgur link.
The challenge of making or acquiring props for these treasures might range from easy to very difficult. A pot of gold and a trunk of jewels would be easy to make. One can find crystal skulls and brass baubles online. A bar made of real platinum would be expensive to buy, but platinum bars are available online somewhere. However, the process of making a crystal trident might be difficult and expensive. Same with the scepter.
 
To all prop collectors here on this forum: A genuine pure platinum bar can cost thousands of dollars apiece depending on how big it is. If you get a real platinum bar, it would be more valuable and more expensive than the other Zork treasure replica props shown on the OP's website...because a real platinum bar would be the genuine article and not just a replica.
Collectors like us would not want to buy a genuine Ancient Egyptian royal scepter either...because the sale of genuine Ancient Egyptian artifacts are highly regulated by law. It is much better if we bought replicas or made our own Egyptian style replica props.
