What sort of leather did you use for your book? Or did you get it from another source? I need to get me a book like this.

Great stuff. I got one of the cheaper ones and am looking to weather it similar to yours. Great advice on the shoe polish, coffee, etc. And BRAVO for making a cheap prop into a really great piece for a pittance. I added some real things to mine. I found the actual real stamps for the cover/brown paper and will be working on that. Also, I got real Reich Marks that match the prop ones. They were only $2 bucks each. So I have real currency in the book and real stamps from the era (exactly the ones on the wrapping). Thanks for all the inspirations.

In case anyone is considering buying this cheap version, I wanna point out it no longer comes with some of the coolest inserts like for example maps. The seller has cut down on the inserts by half :( I'm referring to the Aliexpress cheap version, not the Etsy expensive one. Also by the way, in the diary the pages are not in the correct order, but I think that has always been the case with those copies. It's still a nice prop to get but be aware that now it's slithghtly less than what is see in the video.

there are lots of places to get this version (multiple sellers), including AMAZON
@asmrcarousel9 сағат бұрын
@@MySTARWARSchannel Yeah but I think they probably come from the same supplier in China because as I was looking for the best copy (aside from the Etsy luxury version), I noticed they all stopped including the same extras like the maps for example. I ended up buying mine from Aliexpress and the seller confirmed the supplier cut back on the printables. But I could make my own clippings, so it's no biggie. So really, the most annoying thing is that the pages in the diary appear to be jumbled... Were the pages in order in your copy? Anyway, even with the negatives I don't regret buying this at all, it's a super cool prop, especially on a budget. I got mine for 13 Euros, I shouldn't complain :D Great job aging it by the way! Thanks for the tips.

amazing tutorial. thank you! i ordered one from AliExpress a while back with a similar intention but the one I got was absolute garbage compared to yours. do you recall the seller or have the link to the specific listing that yours came from? they all seem to use the same images but they are clearly not all the same product. I'm hoping my second $18 will pan out better than the first. 🤣

Great video...my only concern is that Ramsey Props, you who recommended for the high-end handmade diary, has gone out of business as of this writing and has left a lot of orders unfulfilled and not refunded. I cannot recommend them at this time.

Mark Ramsey is a scam artist at this point. I ordered a diary from him in May and never got it. Etsy instantly refunded me my money. When I’d contact him, he’d say it’ll be shipped out in a few days and then nothing. Very frustrating as I’ve wanted a good grail diary since I was 5 when the movie came out.

The diary looks great! I have a few questions about your process. For weathering, you just dipped book into straight black coffee? For about how long did you dip it. Also did you use the same coffee to paint the pages?

The grail rubbing i ordered from a company in Germany because they use real parchment paper.btw, whats with the camel cig box? I dont remember it in the film but was thinking to just go buy a real pack.
