Hello everyone!
Yup, I just keep at it. I have now molded the scarab box as seen in the Classic Galactica episode "Lost Planet Of The Gods". It was used to store the Seal Of Kobol in.
I managed to get one of the real 1970's vintage off-the-shelf boxes exactly like the one used in the show. But the detail on it was so "soft" and the box itself was warped... it wasn't worth the silicone to mold the real thing. What I did: I measured. I studied. I drew plans. Then I re-created the box portion to the same measurements as the original, put clean, distinct copies of the real heiroglyphs on the sides and cast a new mold. The Scarab device on the top of the box was in decent shape, so I took an alginate mold of the real thing and cast a workable copy. I cleaned that copy up immensely (had to go in and re-define all the extremely soft lines) and it comes as a separate piece that you glue onto the lid. All in all, this is the closest thing to the real thing you'll find.
I cannot post images here, but if you like, you can see te box at this thread elsewhere:
