Officer's Grog Mugs SHIPPED!!!
ATTENTION!
All the Officer's Grog Mugs that were ordered and paid for have been SHIPPED OUT!!! You should receive them in a few days. Have a cold one on me! :beer: -Gordon :colonial: Hey everybody, I will be making a limited run of Officr's Grog Mugs (the pewter mugs with the eagle heads on them). Right now I'm looking at supplying them FINISHED. I know, I said I'd never do that, but hey.. rules are meant to be broken. I have sculpted a completely new eagle and have acquired a supply of the proper style pewter tankards through many many auctions, yard sales, and thrift store searches. I will be making them "clean", so you will be able to drink from them, but they will NOT be dishwasher safe. You will need to wash them by hand, gently and in warm water. The eagle will be resin and painted with automotive lacquer. It will be attached with marine epoxy to the mug. Like the ones on the show, they will be "left handers". :beer: I will try to get some pics of the proto up soon. Mugs will be $50 each shipped in the US. -Gordon |

images in Gallery PHYSICAL MODELS
Okay, I just uploaded images of the Grog Mug prototype to the PHYSICAL MODELS gallery. It said they needed to be reviewed before they were officially posted, so its out of my hands now.
I'll be happy to send images via email to anybody who asks. Write to me at Spcglider@aol.com and I'll get you some shots. -Gordon And now... all the obscure smileys that most folks dont use: :warrior: :smart: :cylon: :mushies: :star: |
I just got the second half of the mold poured, so I guess this is a good a time as any to start taking orders for mugs!
I plan to start shipping by May 20. Once again, mugs are FINISHED and cost $50.00 each shipped. As usual, I am eating the shipping cuz I want you all to have your own officer's club mugs! The mugs are pewter and of the exact make that was used in the show. The eagle will be resin finished with automotive gold paint and attached with marine epoxy to the mug. I currently have 10 spaces open for orders. I may be able to make more later, but no guarantees at this point. -Gordon :beer: :muffit: |

I am casting eagle heads today. I also discvered that I have a set of FOUR pewter mugs that are not the official style, but are so similar that there's almost no difference. They are a bit crude-er in finish. I'm considering making them "rentable" for fan film folks. They'll look okay on film for sure, but they won't hold up to super close inspection. Either that or I'll drop them cheap just to get them out of the way. -Gordon :thumbsup: :beer: |

Got my order right.

I believe so. And we'll be looking very carefully at the placement of the birds in the next few days... I am informed that the BBS images are of mugs that have been "modified" and the birds shifted from their original placement. More to come. Suffice it to say that I'll be trying to make the mugs as accurate as possible. -G :salute: |
ATTENTION! The first run of ten grog mugs has been spoken for!
Because of the great response, I am going to commit to another run of ten in he near future! The VERY near future. Its just a matter of obtaining another set of ten mugs! UGH!! I'll let you know when they are available! -Gordon |
I hope to have the mugs shipped out by the end of this coming week... I'm ahead of schedule!
Good news! -Gordon |
COOL!
Jim :thumbsup: |

The mugs look very cool. If you are still planning a second run of 10 mugs, I would very much like to get 2. You can reach me at stephenallred@sbcglobal.net if you need to get hold of me on this. Again, awesome work. :salute: |

I am thinking about supplying finished, painted birds for folks to glue onto their own mugs. They'd probably be about $20 each. I'm just thinking about it. That's not an offer... yet. -G :) |

You know, I think I was thinking about a fan made mug someone did a few years ago. Same as this one, but made of glass and had a metal warrior patch on both sides. If anyone know what I'm talking about, please add to this or post a image if you have one.
Jim:?: Something along the lines of this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Battlestar-Galac...QQcmdZViewItem |
Images of the mugs can now be seen here:
