Indiana Jones Grail Diary Prop Replica

[kalkamel]

Hi,

I just completed my third run of this prop replica from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and I thought I'd share some pics of it with you guy.

I printed out the text and graphics on standard 80gsm A4 paper, and hand cut the pages to the dimensions of the actual prop (i.e. 6 1/2" long, 4 1/4"wide). They are then bound with brown cowhide like the screen used prop. The pages are individually aged based on the pics of the prop in the Archives book. The inserts are also printed on different quality/thickness papers and then individually aged.

It also comes with the wrapper postmarked Venice, Italy which Indy ripped at his dad's house to reveal the diary.

Some pictures:



































Here are some pics of the actual screen used props for comparison:

Thanks, Pol. I made 3, 2 for a coupla orders from the RPF and another for myself. Since I always improve the diaries on every run, I always keep one to show the evolution from v1.0

Thanks, jadenlee... it takes lots and lots of research... mostly from the 'net and books relating to the Indy trilogy and grail lore in general.
