That's awesome spread the love. I use to hand out the promotional GL rings at cons to little kids. Told them they were worthy. Kids who wore villain's costumes got Sinsetro rings, and I said spread Fear!

Yeah, I think I might just go that route.There's always CraftCloud
I’ve begun reviewing the models in preparation for tweaks and/or test prints, so I’ll probably be ordering something in the near future.

Back to working on the Gil Kane V1. Wasn’t happy with the shape of the finger-hole on the underside of the disc platform. This new iteration is a little cleaner.
Also, totally by accident, I hit JUST the right angle to make the simulated lighting give the ring a glowing effect.

How did I miss this? Great job!

Hi all: Decided I needed an excuse to do some photography (got a super cheap photo box) and document the prop replicas I've been buying, making, assembling, and/or modding. Kind of an inventory of sorts. The vast majority of these replicas are NOT my own design, so I'll be sure to try to credit...

Found time to get a little more work in. I decided to lower the bezel height from 3mm to 2.5, matching the REBIRTH style. And I think I’ve finally gotten a band size and shape that I really like from all angles. We’ll see after I lock down the next batch for test printing.
The radical fluctuations in this particular design have been vexing. SO many variations during Gil Kane’s run. I’ve tried to find an idealized/compromise version which…er…rings true with some of the more notable drawings of the ring (such as in GREEN LANTERN # 40, a hugely important issue, both for GL lore and the DC Universe as a whole).

Just comparing the two main types of designs—the classic signet rings and the symbol-charm versions.
It’s interesting to go from the classic Gil Kane look to the sleeker M.D. Bright to the smaller and more traditional Van Sciver then to the streamlined Van Sciver. 50 years of evolution in four designs.
There’s a similar evolution from Joe Staton’s simple charm-on-band to the tri-band (which I’ve really come to like a lot) to Patrick Gleason’s more dimensional version of the symbol.

I knew you were a man of good tastes ;D The tri-band with squared off symbol is my favorite.
I don't think it was until that last test print that it clicked for me. I'd previously felt it looked too "busy", but the tri-band is rather stylish, and provides a nice gripping surface for putting on/taking off the ring.

Agreed~ It's tasteful and stylish :3 Oh, this is slightly off topic but I wanted to share - I got my own 3D printer!! One of my earliest test prints was a ring too! It was the new Sorrow Lantern. Not sure how to feel about that guy but hey, new rings to mess with.
