As it seem not to be clear:
I did not want set a price since 1. I don't know what getting new "blanks" will cost me and 2. I don't want to make money from you guys by announcing a higher price than it might be in the end and 3. I don't want to keep people with less money than needed out. I _think_ it will be something around 5-7 Euro that I will have to pay to the guy who cuts them. I haven't got a reply from him though so this is totally a guess! I do not demand any money for the work I do myself. The only money that adds to the amount I need to cover is the shipping. Which totally depends on you, your location. Perhaps I should have written this earlier: If someone bids less then the money needed I want to cover that from people who bid more. There is at least one person who would love to get a rune but is not sure if he can afford it. It would just be fair to cover it that way. If that doesn't work then I will pay it myself. I just need to know how many runes I should get made. 13 Euro should probably(!) cover the costs. Repeat: This is my guess. I don't want to be accused being devious. I will tell you what it costs once I know. And you can decide what you want to pay then. (I better repeat this too: The lowest price possible is 100% ok, giving more would help people to whom it is too much. And if there is any residue I think it is damn well earned. Would be nice to get something for it without hurting anyone. I'd use the money for the hosting bill.) You are welcome to ask if you are unsure about anything. Jesus, I almost feel like some stupid shop. Would have been better not to offer this perhaps. even if you charge a ten percent overhead to cover weekend beer expenses it wouldn't be a <i< bad thing. It is your initiative and investment that is getting it done, you are not exploiting anyone.
I'm willing to pay whatever it would take to post one of those to Australia. Just name the price. :D
Spirit, do you only make the stylized quake Q? Or do you have any other designs? The quake rune that looks like a 7 would be cool to see I think. Or actually any of them. Hell, I'd probably pay for the set of 4. 'Cept you'd have to make 2 of them without the separate bits due to, you know, gravity and all.
Tron: Shipping to Australia is 8 Euro, as the rest of the world. It might get down to 6 Euro though if the new runes are more light.
NotoriousRay: Heh, you aren't the first to ask that. No, I can't do other runes as I don't do the cutting job myself. I'll have 2 of those if I can,
There is at least one person who would love to get a rune but is not sure if he can afford it and while your at it, the person mentioned above, I'll pay for one for them, and you can just send it to them. I'm not totally sure how this is working, I read 'bids' etc, anyway I'm happy to bid 100 Euro (whatever that is in Australian dollars) for 2 for myself and 1 for the other person, do what you will with any left over, I'll Email you later, with more questions and for info, I hope I can get them. It would make this old Quake freak very happy. Spirit;
Can you make me a rocket launcher please. And a pony, I always wanted a pony. Mmmm, quad pony... I had nothing to do so I just worked a bit. I sawed(?) it out of a thin copper plate, added facets and then grinded it. The plate was a quite old one and not flat anymore, that's were the uneven and quite ugly surface comes from. It is not really faithful in the shape either, I didn't print it but drew it freehand. Well, just for fun afterall :)
http://quaddicted.com/stuff/quakerune/spirit_end1.mdl.jpg VoreLord: Wow, this offer made me totally speechless. I think I totally misused the word "bid", seems like everyone misunderstood it first. =( wrath: no :P Doing them consists of two parts. One is getting them cut (which I did myself in spring, but can't do now). The pre-work (configuring the CAD/CNC stuff) took about 1 hour. Assembling and cutting few moments. Adding structure is different. I made some very detailed with small round hammers (pic below), also I experimented a lot. I made ~12 runes in spring and that took one whole day. It's not too much work. What takes a lot of time is to get them rusted, but as they do that all by themselves (2-3 weeks) that is the laziest part. Finally I cleaned them and added varnish, that was about half an hour for three runes.
The most detailed one (mine,heh! which got a dive in saltwater to rust now since I loved the rusted!): http://www.quaddicted.com/contribute/imageupload/images/spirit_quakerunes_2.jpg The end1 rune took roughly 2 hours. Now that I would pay good money for; especially if it were high quality like the runes seem to be.
you rock so much!
/me is going to suicide because of the silly post not delivering me this beauty A 30 second gameplay footage trailer of Industri (a Doom 3 project I've been working) has been release.
Check the main Industri site for more details - http://industri.sourceforge.net/ For the click / read lazy: - XviD format (best quality) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/industri/Industri-23-aug-06-XviD.zip - WMV format http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/industri/Industri-23-aug-06-WMV.zip I remembered seeing this and had tried to track it down but couldn't find any references to it (didn't help that I couldn't remember who was making it or what the name was)
Looks cool. I made a slow and relaxing track in FLstudio.It is called Flow Inside you can download it from here:
http://pulsar.quaddicted.com/misc/PuLSaR-Flow%20inside.mp3 I'm too lazy to find music thread. If anyone cares.
