I made this for my dad. He literally paused the movie and said, "I want that one." So naturally I had to attempt it. Tell me what you guys think.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows... Pipe Replica Attempt..
Re: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows... Pipe Replica Attempt..
Do you have any photo of the pipe you were trying to replicate?

I'm thinking back to the movie, and I'd say you have a bit too much sag on the bottom of the bowl. It needs to be tightened up in general- however, I also saw that pipe and was like "nais".

So, what needs to be fixed?

It looks almost like the shank bulges a bit, but it might just be the photos.Gershom wrote:So, what needs to be fixed?
I also think that the bowl is too conical and the bottom of the bowl is pointier than the original and that the walls of the bowl are too thin, but this is probably obvious if you compare them as well. Otherwise I think you did a rather good job!
