Welcome Sons of Adam, and Daughters of Eve, to Narnia!

From a project worked on as a sequel to the Mary Poppins Bag Christmas Spectacular.

Special credit to the illustrious Tif for the Mr. Tumnus warrant!

The lampost:

In detail:

(And yes, it does work with flame flicker bulbs.)

Peter's sword in the display:

(the Witch's wand can be seen in earlier pics.)

The warrant:

Looking up at the lamp from beside Aslan:

Aslan, father of Narnia stands in the snowy wastes besides the lamppost:

Oh that's INCREDIBLE!

Dang, I need to go read those again.

 

[gnrlotto]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!

Nice, love the lamp post prop! Have Narnia as the main decoration in my den. Waiting on a Mr. Tumnis scarf from the original supplier to the film set to frame around my Juno's warrent as well.

Pretty cool. How much fake snow do you have around the room?

Just a couple of bags of it. It's a corner display.

Nice, love the lamp post prop!

The lamp post head is a smaller version but the same make as the one from the film.

Oh, and Aslan is a lifesize Tsavo lion replica based on the one from the British museum (i.e. the maneaters from The Ghost and the Darkness).

I can't see the pics dude, any chance you could reupload them? I'd love to see it as I just finished modifying the haloween peter's sword to be accurate.

[TD235]

That is awesome!

I would love to see some details on what you used and how you made it.

This what you mean?

 

[gnrlotto]

And thanks for all the compliments, guys! It was a load of work, but well worth it.

 

[juno]

Exactly what I meant. It looks great in the room! Where did you get the lamp, and did you have to paint on the details?

This is also for you, TD, I wasn't ignoring you:


We found the lamp post head after searching for a few days, they're made by a company in England out of copper, and we got the smaller size as I said because we don't have a fourteen foot ceiling to support the movie sized lamp.:lol The post itself it a generic lighting post that can be found at most home lighting centers. The lamp arm was a plastic rod we secured by drilling through the post and then painted with a black fleck paint to match the post. We also aged the copper of the lamp head with one of the chemical aging solutions from Home Depot.

We also had the glass panes of the lamp redone in plexi, painted on the burnt-oil stained look, and then added the guts of the flicker bulb set-up to it as we weren't going to hook it up to a gas line. The icicles came from a string of Christmas garland and we epoxied several smaller ones together to get the look of the big ones, then flocked and sprayed the whole lamp down with wall texture and then satin white spraypaint to get the snowed on look, also using a glass glitter to make it more crystalline.

wow, that is really impressive! I may just have to try that now

Cool, Thanks. The frosted snow/ice on the pole looks very real. Great job.
