Super Freak
One book I've been wanting to build is the large Dutch bible from Raiders. This is the book from which Indy shows the Federal agents the picture of the ark. Well thanks to Captnemo42 who also suggested it I finally got started. I thought it might interest some to see this project as it progresses. This is obviously a more difficult build over my 1:6 grail diary and Ravenwood journal. Since we only see one page inside the book that gives me some artistic freedom on the contents. However the outside is more complicated. Two problems I had to solve is: the ribbed spine and the buckle straps. Here are a few pictures of the book so far.
A test cover with two straps in place and two metal decorations.
A preliminary piece I used to test the horizontal ribs on the spine.
A cover with the ribs in place. The cover and straps are genuine leather. Getting close to the binding process.
I will posting more as the build gets closer to completion.
