And yet another one! The Green Lantern ring is done!
This time, it's the ring from the 2011 movie! Plus a perfect intro to the upcoming RINGSCALER TOOL
Just like the previous versions, this one can use the same electronics to light up. And the timing couldn't be better, as it gives me the perfect opportunity to introduce something I've been working on: the upcoming RING SCALER, which will be released tomorrow! (More on that at the end of the post.)
Since this ring has a slightly different design, using a twist-lock mechanism wasn't really an option. So, I went with the snug-fit + magnet approach instead. This allows you to easily remove the top cover whenever you need access to the electronics.
I've also included two interchangeable details. One is more accurate to the original design, but unfortunately, there's simply no room inside to accommodate the electronics. The other one has been slightly reshaped to allow the electronics to fit.
So, you get to choose whichever version you prefer! And thanks to the magnetic connection, switching between them is quick and easy, even on the go.
As for references, there really isn't much available for this particular ring. I ended up relying mostly on screenshots from the movie. If anyone happens to have more information or official reference photos (no replicas, interpretations, or fan-made versions), please let me know! I'd absolutely love to take a look. :)
And now, something else I've been working on... THE RING SCALER!
I've developed a tool designed to help you get your rings properly sized, and it actually offers two different approaches.
The first is the traditional approach: scaling the entire ring.
The second is an original idea of mine. Instead of scaling the whole model, the tool closes up the existing ring holes and rebuilds them, allowing you to simply enter your ring size and generate the correct finger opening.
More about how it works tomorrow, when the Ring Scaler officially releases!
It's been tested quite extensively and works really well, but I'll also be putting together a video to show you exactly how to use it.
Stay tuned!
