John Wick Stash Book (John Wick 3 Parabellum)

[MR_Adrian]

Not sure if any other forum members have attempted making this, but this week I decided to go ahead and put together a replica of the stash book John Wick uses in John Wick 3. It's going to be a blend between the stunt version and the hero version (stunt version was for bashing heads and such )

Stunt Book:

Hero Book:

I know mine won't be entirely accurate in all dimensions, but I will make the best representation I can with the book I was able to source to use as a base Here's where I got today, I'll be posting some more updates this week.

Its looking good so far from what i see. I know i have seen several of the John Wick 3 Book safe pop up on Ebay and folks asking a ridiculous amount for them. Look forward to see how your project goes.

Nice! Where did you purchase the cross? If I'm not mistaken I think there was a run of proper crosses here on the forum?

Thank you! I saw the stunt version of the book pop up for sale during the John Wick 3 prop store auction and thought it would go for around $600 or so.....nope it went for over $2000

So I did the leather wrapping and the front cover yesterday, the way I got the design done was by using toner transfer to get the outlines on the leather and then drawing it on with a gold paint pen. I realize there are better ways to do this, this just seemed the easiest most accessible currently (the other was CNCing an aluminum stamp and heat stamping gold foil, but, I lost access toa CNC for the time being cause the local library that has one is currently closed due to the covid-19 situation. In the future, I will maybe reattempt it but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Today I am going to be finishing the design up on the back of the book and it should be done.

To weather the front I just used a black wash, sandpaper, and graphite powder. (the acrylic wash was a mistake in hindsight cause the water helped smear the gold paint pen cause I forgot that was acrylic). Oh a mini blowtorch as occasionally used as well

More pictures later today hopefully.

Thank you
Gotchya, I will definitely need to look into getting pieces from him when funds will allow it. Specifically the cross/rosary beads, but possibly the blood oath marker as well.

Alright it's done! Lots of pics incoming, not particularly thrilled with the back but it'll do. There's also a couple of other minor inaccuracies that I'd like to fix. I may reattempt this project in the future but for a couple day build, I'm quite pleased with it.

Can you correct your title of the thread to read, "John" instead of "Joh" ?

Click the ". . ." in the top right above the first post and edit to change.

Yep, everyone sees it and automatically reads "John Wick". Even though it wasn't.

 

[MR_Adrian]

I made a video about how I made the book if anyone is interested!

Excellent work. Again, a fellow member inspires me to go back and finish an abandoned project. Thank you.
