Limited Run Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny Dial COMPASS AND CHAIN - All gone so run CLOSED

Finally a pic of the compass dial (nothing aged yet in this pic). The compass rose is made of wood and inlayed in mother of pearl. The wood will be bleached to make it look ancient like the original.

I was kinda obsessed making this with natural materials and unfortunately making the rose mother of pearl with the fine details was just not feasible. I am happy with the result, but fully understand this is rather history accurate than fully screen accurate.

Now is the time for a payment if you want to be in the first batch of about 10, which I will probably finish next weekend. Please message me if you are convinced already. Price is still 200€ and I will fix shipping to the US at 30€ (or us$250 total, whichever turns out lower for you. PayPal Family & Friends would be much appreciated, but I fear it just moves the conversion fees to the buyer).

I will contact all others on the list once I have a final specimen ready.

Please tell me if this is not close enough for your taste. I might eventually make a dial with acrylic mother of pearl later, which would look pretty close but would rather be cheating with the approach I took.

Almost there, will hopefully finish the first batch of 10 over the weekend (most paid for already).

The mother of pearl definitely looks more shiny (natural) and the compass rose darker than the original. Looks both contrasty and subtle in person -rather like freshly made. Will bleach/dull for those who wish for it.

Also made an acrylic MOP version and that looks very close. More pics later, should somebody be interested in most screen accurate look.

Not good at making videos and photos but this should give an impression of the final product.

All compasses marked as „paid“ will go out Monday. Followed by graffitilogic, Jonesing4Props next week too.

ajhix and mbmcfarland just waiting for confirmation they can go out together. Darthbauer markpoon MCINTOSH275 fffilms please tell me if you are still interested.

The compass marked as ‚Special‘ will probably be offered by graffitylogic as a bundle with one of his fabulous dials and proceeds will go to charity. Details to be determined/discussed by/with him directly.
 
Would it be possible to share pictures of original prop here, screenshots or exhibition pictures, for those who have such pictures in stock?

Sorry, I’m out at this point since it’s too close to Christmas.
 
These compasses turned out excellent - I'm making my own display's dial around the one I got and will post pictures this week when it is done.

Just wanted to mention that if you bought an older Dial from me and bought one of these metal compasses - I'll happily provide you with an upgraded Dial to fit this one for [actual material] + [shipping] costs. (1.5 kg of Siraya Tech Resin + a 240x140mm sheet of Pearl Veneer) Just give me a heads up a couple weeks to make it happen for ya.

Best,
BD
 
Looks like they are all gone now. Last one will be in a charity raffle later this year.

I don't think I will make another run as in terms of money this was rather a desaster. Anyway, I don't regret it.
