The Inglourious Basterds Megathread w/ Customs

[Wreck]

This is the Inglourious Basterds Megathread, its a place for fans of the film to post different editions world-wide. Granted, being a crazy nut about the film it has become more like my personal IB collection. However regardless, if you find something cool about the movie then post it in the thread.

It actually didnt take near as long as The Buried Box. The carving was def the worst part though.

I was literally holding a knife blade in my hand and trying to use it like a pencil because one wrong move and you'll go past the mark and then you totally ruin the bat some huge long cut or something.

I took those pics at work, when I got home and brought to my movie room and set it with other IB stuff it jus tlooked awesome because at work it was directly under a huge frickin light with those long 4ft bulbs ... in a regular room, the blood and look of it look sooooooo much better. Lighting is everything, which I always fail to remember. The blood is darker and the words stand out more.

Overall Cost:

Bat from ebay: $12
Sand paper: $0 (already had)
Paint & Brush: $10/$0 (already had)
Knife: $0 (already had)
Red finger nail polish: $0 (wife already had)

Time:

Sand bat down: 10-15 minutes
Add stress to bat for realism: 5 minutes
Paint Bat: 15 minutes (let it dry overnight)
Carve Bat: 1 hour (revisited 3 times)
Add Finger nail polish for blood look: 15 minutes

Hi Wreck thats not too bad for time, it looks like it would have taken a lot longer. Its the carving bit which i would struggle with, like you said one wrong move and its ruined! I think it looks awesome, you have got your own unique one-off collectable!

 

[unam9]

Awesome Const. I will need to hunt one down.

Ok guys, I got new pics for my bat, I think it could have turned out a lil better but you learn from your mistakes ... maybe I'll make one more ;p

Regardless, I'm still pretty happy with the results.

Here is a pic before the painting, where I had carved it out more.

Wreck, where did you get that poster? Is that one of those textured prints from Blockbuster?

 

[Wreck]

Yes it is!

Check out this thread ....

https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/374/&page=3 I linked page 3 shows a couple others I got ... but the link to purchase is on page 2 ... I had them shipped to my house, they come UPS ground.

 

[Nightowl]

Thanks for the links! Now I'm tempted to order at least IB and Watchmen, and then add on an IB gold slip to boot.

Ugh, the more you know is out there, the more you want!

 

[Wreck]

True, they accept paypal I do believe ... so if you did sell some crap on ebay it might be easier on the pocket to when ordering ... at least, I tell myself that. ;p
