RF Sankara's

[Rock Ford]

The first time I made one it was for my Halloween costume. This time

Belloq wanted to make him one so I said ok. I did some tweaking

on his version (rev1) and experimented with the color. I hand

made 5 stones out of plaster, since it is winter and I get bored

easy.



I just made these for the fun of it and for a

fellow fan. I farted around the house today making 3

more stones since my kid is sick and the wife is gone.

Thanks KT. it's easier to carve them different, than to carve them to all look the same. ;D I used direct carving using truth to materials. In other words used the flaws to incorporate into each piece.

I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about! ;D

Not bad for a guy sitting around drinking beer on his day's off!

Amazing looking props !

My favorite is the first one from the left...very realistic.

Bravo !!

Very well done. Great job RF

Stones 3 & 5 are spoken for.




Thanks all for the comments and will try to better myself every time.

Those look really cool. Especially the customising on each one. It's hard to believe you made each one just in an afternoon!

I hope you get a good price for them! You definitely deserve it!

I did not make these in one afternoon.

Number 3 is spoken for? Hmm,...what happened to that PM you sent me, asking how they looked. Didn't you get my reply?

[Ragingblues]

Those look really nice and most importantly.... they look like real stones that have been carved, not clay. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with making these out of clay, but I have seen a few that just didn't look the part.

Nice work!

Blues,

I sent that PM to see what your opinion was on how they looked. I just wanted to give Belloq first chance at them. He's been in contact with me for a few months now. I'm making a few more to fine tune my skills a bit.

[Rock Ford]

Here are some pics on stone 4.

Hey Pat,

Again, These all look fantastic and you did a really good job. I know you think your just sitting around, but I couldn't pull that off, you definately have artistic talent. Thanks again for deciding to undertake this, it was fun getting updates along the way. I can't wait to show these off to my friends. Great work.

I did not make these in one afternoon. But I have 3 more roughed out
in one afternoon.

Sorry! I misunderstood! Either way, it's really impressive!

[Rock Ford]

Mike,

Thanks for asking me to undertake these. You have inspired me to try my hand on a few more
different projects. I though of one idea I did not mention in my last PM to you. I could use my technics I learned making these and make a full size 1:1 scale Allspark Cube from the movie Transformers for my kids room.


I was really into art when I was in high school but never pursued it. But like Harry had said in another thread "Life happened".

Thanks again,
Pat

Thanks for the compliment RB. Not bad for my second attempt at making these.

[Rock Ford]

Here are my new stones, I lightened up on the lines a little bit to make them not as white. I think I'm going to try something different the next time I make these, I'm going to try a scratched version.

The screen version has scratched lines in them. I think if these where objects of worship they would have carved the lines into them. Early man has been napping stone spear heads since the Mammoths time.

Ken,

Thank you, they look better in natural light. I will see if I can some sunlight pics.

[pitfallharry]

Those look awesome!

Very well done, RF!

[GCR]

WOW!!! I can't believe I just stumbled onto this thread!

You've done an awesome job on these Sankara stones, Rockford! Nice work!

[Rock Ford]

Thanks for the compliments Pitfall and GCR

[IndyNibs]

great work

[Mr. Fusion]

Just found this one on eBay. Very reasonable Buy-It-Now price. I'm very tempted. Unfortunately I'm saving up for a new fedora. Damn, I wish I could get both. Oh, well. C'est la vie.

And I just got mine, excellent, excellent work RF and faultless packaging. A quails egg would have survived in that cocoon of bubblewrap!
