It's missing the palace design on the inside of the lid that I've seen elsewhere.

Beautiful!
But Ugh would you be willing to cast a couple? People like me an Jintosh can make near-perfects, but nothing competes with that

It's going to be a small market. 2007 is now 17 years old. Some younger people haven't even seen the movie. I kept promising to make a replica with moving hands, and never got further than the planning stage. This one definitely looks 3D printed, which I believe that's what you said. If a 3D scan could be made of it, you might sell the scan to interested parties. Brass castings, if they preserved the detail would also be an option.

Yes, I see the castle was an insert.

Yep agreed. It's not a crazy task to model it, but for my part it wouldn't be worth the time and effort if only 2-3 people would even be interested.

Would you mind taking a couple minutes to take some measurement? Total width at widest point of both pieces, height of each piece. I still may come back and model it myself, and dimensions would help.

 

[sonicfreak04]

can this be scanned and made into a model anyone could 3d print?

 

[laellee]

I'd still be in on working one of these up if there was enough interest, it's such a great piece.
