Hi.this is my version of the screen accurate grail used in the movie. As all my grails they are thrown on a potters wheel done by me.painted in several layers of paint gold leafed and finally dusted with a gray dust sparycoat and real dust for realisme! here it is with a picture with the original screen used one,just to compare.what do you think of it? i56.photobucket.com/albums/g182/indianaholt/ultimatereplica2screenaccurate.jpgHolt |

Wow, Holt you nailed the screen version!  Even though I kind of liked the thinner base and angular rim of the last one this one looks to me like an exact match of the movie Grail. The base is thicker and the cup itself has a smoother curve to it. Very well done.   Is this for your personal collection or is this one going to go up for sale? |

Hi thanks man,glad you like it  .I must say that this is for my personal collection but.......I can make this again I just have to send the cup away to make a mold on it. its almost impossible to make 2 grails the same;I have tried and tried but can't seeme to make them the same. I will make a mold on it if there is an interest of the Grails I'll let you know. Thanks again Eric |

I would hate to see you loose it. Doing it by hand like that I can understand why it would be impossible to make 2 exactly alike. When I go to get a Grail Cup you'll be at the top of my list.  |
