EDIT (9/1:cool: : Please scroll down to see when yours shipped. A couple of you are getting prop "packages" of several items, so your stones will ship when everything is ready.:)
************************************************** ****

EDIT (9/17): Here is a side-by-side pic of a GLOSSY finish (left) and a SATIN finish (right). If you've changed your mind on which you want, please e-mail me ASAP so I can change it. Thanks.:)

************************************************** ****

EDIT (9/15): Most of these still lack the clear coat (glossy or satin). That will come tomorrow. FINALLY, these should start shipping on Tuesday. There are some more unpainted plaster pieces that are still curing.

These are solid plaster, and do NOT light up. They come fully painted just like you see here, and I am making these as they are ordered/paid. It takes me about two weeks to complete a set (I guess the humidity here is what's taking the plaster so long to fully cure :( ).

They are $40 per set, which includes shipping. You can choose a glossy finish (as shown in the pics) or a more satin finish. I take PayPal at the e-mail address below, or you can e-mail me to get my mailing address and send me a money order.

Wow. The pix look great. Great job! What finish do you think looks best, the glossy or satin?

Thanks.:)

Well, Satin is probably closer to what the screen-used props looked like, but I like the glossy because it makes them look like they've been "polished" by hundreds of years of handling by the priests.

When will these be shipping?

PropReplicator
Sep 8th, 2001, 11:44:21 PM
As soon as the paint fully dries. I do the paint in several layers, letting each layer fully dry for a couple of days.

Sorry for the delay.:(

PLEASE SEE EDITED FIRST POST FOR THE MAIN UPDATE.:)

Another problem I've been having with these is small chipping specks where the paint chips off if they bump together or whatever. That's why I've been waiting so long between coats of paint and doing more layers of the paint: to try to prevent chipping.

However, I will also be sending paint pots with my colors for "touch ups", just in case something happens in shipping or after you receive them and play with them.

Thanks,
Wayne
