I sooooooo want one of the painted Crimson King sculptures!!!

[becca69]

That's just wonderful Rachel!

[Rachel Readman]

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback!

I take it the photos look good on everyone's screens then? It looks way too bright and luminescent on my Husband's Galaxy S3 phone but looks fine on my laptop with an IPS display and another IPS we have on one PC and a 4K VA panel on the other. We don't have an old CRT or tablets to check it on though.

I didn't see a price on the website or are you guys just speculating on the pricing?

No speculation. The price is a whopping £1,999 GBP (approx $2,870 USD).

Considering the sculpture is solid bronze and weighs a staggering 17kg - it was never going to be cheap.

However IMHO, the level of detail and awesome paintwork make this sculpture worth every penny. It is truly awesome!!!

One thing I can let you all know at this point is the retail price of the sculptures. It will be £1999 GBP including shipping to most countries. Some far afield places such as Australia and remote/rural adresses may incur a higher shipping cost but I can confirm this at the time. There will be more details and info/T's & C's which I will post once we are ready to go.

Thanks for your patience waiting for this and I am eager to get things happening ASAP...

[Brian861]

Thanks, Tim. Guess I just wasn't clicking in the right places :-/. Would make an outstanding prop for the up coming movie/s .

It isn't solid bronze. It's resin based.

I did warn you all it is one heck of a lump and we just weighed the painted edition and it is 17kg plus the flight case. The bronze edition will be slightly heavier. These new casts are cast in resin but with a high quantity of white marble blended into the resin. This makes them more like elgin marble than any usual resin. Much higher quality and much heavier too.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Okay, so the unpainted sculpture is made of bronze, whilst the painted sculpture is cast from a high quality resin containing white marble.

Both sound expensive.

My understanding is that they are both resin. One is painted and the other plated in bronze.

[Rachel Readman]

You are correct Br!an. If it were solid bronze then it would weight about 40kg+ and cost upwards of £18,000 to make just one. The term "solid" is not stictly correct either in terms of bronze casting as bronze is cast hollow inside. Nonetheless the bronze on these is very thick and of the highest quality, unlike some cheap plated items you might have seen where the plating wears off or washes off and you would be hard pushed to tell the difference between this and a solid bronze cast. The resin/marble has to be plated first in nickel, then sterling silver followed by copper then bronze.

Rachel, didn't have a chance to comment on the new pictures you posted. It's an amazing piece of work. The detail and the painting are incredible. Amazing work!

[Rachel Readman]

Thank you Paul, very much appreciated and sorry that we haven't been in touch lately, haven't forgotten you though!

Now the photos of the Crimson King sculpture bronze edition...











































Again these look good on our screens but if they look bad on yours then let me know what type of screen you have and what is bad about them.

Thank you,
Rachel

Oh man. WOW. Just... WOW. The image, the detail. Just incredible. What are the dimensions of this sculpture Rachel?

[Rachel Readman]

I did measure it exactly and put the measurements up here somewhere a few pages back but I think it was 14 inches tall (including the wood base) by 13 inches wide (at the widest point at the bottom of the base).

Just for reference to those who may have missed the photos of the painted edition, they are on page 30 of this thread.

[Br!an]

The dimensions are: 34cm at the widest (bottom of the wood base) by 40cm height. The flight case is 48cm x 48cm x 48cm. Every sculpture comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by both Michael Whelan and myself too.

Thanks Rachel. I need one!

The amount of work you have put into this should not go unnoticed... I would imagine your initial investment is VERY high and your time... your time alone would probably floor us. I hope you sell out FAST!!!!

It looks great Rachel. Painted or Bronze, these are amazing!
