Harry Potter Riddle Blank Diary

[Legion]

I'll go ahead and pick one up to check out that accuracy. Maybe I can use the corner pieces as a base to make a higher-quality version.

Thanks,
Indy

I saw that and thought exactly of this thread too. There's no contest who I think would be more accurate, but it's more of a "how close did they get" with the NC. I'd still prefer yours Indy, simply because at a minimum the NC one doesn't even look aged, but like they pulled a journal from the shelf at Borders and stuck some plates on it.

Cheers,

Guy

btw, I haven't forgotten about the Red Book, I've just had a broken a/c compressor in my house that sucked up some funds.

I finally got my NC Tom Riddle diary and have to say it's Slightly Under eXpectations.

This is a picture of the back.

Looking at images of the actual prop, the leather seems to be realitively smooth, not the bumpy recycled football leather that this was made of. The name is hot stamped to a piece of leather which was then glued to the back of the diary.


The Winstanley's logo was omitted in favor of this:

I will admit that the corners are nice. They are a metal, but I haven't determined if they are actually aged brass or painted steel. I probably will do as you suggested Indy and remove the corners and put them on my attempt at replicating the diary. I now need to find a local business that does gold foil hot stamping so I can add the name to mine.

Once again - Indy, if you decide to do a run of these, I'm still interested!

oh, I'm quite disappointed at it too.

I was seriously hoping it'd be more accurate.

I got an e-mail from Noble asking to update my CC information (since the pre-order was placed so long ago, my card had since expired). But I told them just to cancel the order and now I'm glad I've done so. Doesn't look like having this in my hands would be any help to reproducing it...

I'll be better off working just from the photos I've got.

noble collection is good when it comes to harry potter props but only MOST of them I mean the new locket they made is complete **** and the triwizard cup could be BIGGER and have those branches and the glass could be clear resin with little bits of plastic in it and they can sell more harry potter prop replicas just generally noble collection is an ok site

Very disappointing to see the NC version of the diary, does look awfully cheap compared to the real deal prop.

 

[nurmengart]

Hey Indy, are you still considering to make this?

 

[Beechy McFly]

Yeah, I'm definitely interested in whether you got around to finishing it to offer them.. Would probably grab 2 actually.. :love

 

[Indy Magnoli]

This took a back seat since I had so many other projects on and the response didn't seem that great. I'll keep it on the back burner and if any spare time comes up, I'll look into it again.

Just wanted to thank you for the picture of the name tag. I resized and printed it out, then painted over the letters in gold paint. Trimmed them out and glued it to my prop. It lt looks surprisingly good to me.

Hey is this still for sale?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

We never ended up doing these. We are getting back into doing journals though, so if there is enough rekindled interest, we could look at doing a run.

 

[The Renegade Time Lord]

I would definitely be interested.

Also, does the diary change from COS to HBP? Because in COS, Tom's name on the back is ingrained to the book, while on the Noble Collection, and I assume the HBP (I couldn't find any screenshots to confirm this) version, his name is pushed up from the rest of the book.
