Dune Sandworm And Atreides Hawk Crest Hand Cast Lead Free Pewter Pin Set

Shai-Hulud and The Atreides Hawk, mix and match these pins to show your love of the Dune books. These are not “hand made” in the sense that they are designed and then made in a factory in china, these are hand carved, hand cast, and hand constructed, as such each one comes out slightly differently.

Hand made to order.

.5 inches wide .5 inches tall for each pin.

Pin back hardware is made from brass, and pin is nickle, design is lead free pewter. Custom built to work on most fabric, but works better on heavy canvas jackets or backpacks.  Want to buy a pair, see here, or here.

Dune Board Game Piece Upgrade

Ok where to start with this one…this might be one of the nerdiest things I have ever done. Back in the 70s there was a great Avalon Hill Dune board game, it was a lot of fun, and I remember playing it once at a friends house because his dad had a copy. As a HUGE dune fan (see this site for more of my Dune work), I have been looking to get my hands on a copy for years. Fast forward to last year and Gale Force Nine released a slightly updated but still very faithful version of the game. Both games used cardboard pieces, and even though they were beautiful, they are cardboard. One of the pieces that you use in the new game is a small marker to keep track of what player is next, the problem in the new version is that your player marker looks an awful lot like the other chits used in the game, so its easy to get them mixed up, so I decided to carve and cast in lead free pewter a marker for each of the 6 factions in the game. The Harkonnen, the Atreides, the Guide, The Bene Gesserit, The Fremen, and The Emperor.  Want to upgrade your board game?  Buy a set here.

From top to bottom, left to right. Harkonnen, Guild, Atredies, Fremen, Bene Gesserit, Emperor.

Corrino Lion Crest From Dune

Worn by the The Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and his Sardaukar troopers. This crest identifies the Corrino, a golden lion crest.

“My father, the Padishah Emperor, was 72 yet looked no more than 35 the year he
encompassed the death of Duke Leto and gave Arrakis back to the Harkonnens. He
seldom appeared in public wearing other than a Sardaukar uniform and a Burseg’s
black helmet with the imperial lion in gold upon its crest. The uniform was an
open reminder of where his power lay. He was not always that blatant, though.
When he wanted, he could radiate charm and sincerity, but I often wonder in
these later days if anything about him was as it seemed. I think now he was a
man fighting constantly to escape the bars of an invisible cage. You must
remember that he was an emperor, father-head of a dynasty that reached back into
the dimmest history. But we denied him a legal son. Was this not the most
terrible defeat a ruler ever suffered? My mother obeyed her Sister Superiors
where the Lady Jessica disobeyed. Which of them was the stronger? History
already has answered.
-“In My Father’s House” by the Princess Irulan”

Hand carved and cast in lead free pewter. Perfect for Cosplay, or if you just want to put a sweet Dune inspired piece of jewelry on your jacket or other heavy sweater. (not recommended for light fabrics as it has some weight to it)

See how they were made and more pictures here: If you really like it you can buy it here

Dune Pewter Journal Cover

This is a project that I have been working on for almost two years now.  Just spending a little time on it here and there.  It started as an idea to make a custom journal, and has been the most complicated wax carving and casting project.
