Well it happened, the piece arrived! One of the original resin plates made for the Jumanji board!
I was incredibly lucky to be leant this by a private collector in trade so I could scan it and measure it up.
One of the two resin plates cast up that never made it into a complete board, this makes it perfect for seeing and measuring detail that hasn't been covered by paint or damaged through use. I took some quick photos before scanning it in.
I am absolutely astounded by the quality that was put into this was carving. You can see here the "damage" and "wood cracks" that have been carved into the board, so the resin plate would have the same aged look on every prop. To make sure no matter what happened, the beautiful work would be preserved, the decision to scan it was made.
Here you can see me doing another pass of the letters in the middle to make sure I didn't miss anything. I was using the new EinScan-Pro by Shining 3D, a really awesome product! I wasn't even using the most HD form of scanning initially, and the results were mind blowing! You can see some of the detail preserved here on the rhino.
Here you can see a render of the final scan, the file size is about 7gb, and you can really see the detail pop! I'd use this image as a good reference if you're ever planning on sculpting one.
And to compare it with the one I sculpted, here they are side-by-side. The main differences being some cleaner elements of mine, and me getting some of the depths of various elements wrong. I'm pretty happy with how the elephant and rhino turned out though, they are wonderfully close!
Edit: Better lighting for comparison:
