I used double stick scrapbooking tape. I repositioned it several times and it is still holding fine. I used three small pieces in between the glass the ribbon ends and the wax seal. I decided against using anything that might leave a residue.

Now that the bottles have gone out, Paul, when are you going to put your three bottles and display on ebay? That would be a show piece for anyone's collection.

Thanks Beast.
I'm keeping one DeCzar for my own collection and selling the other WITH a Whiskey Bottle and the illuminator as a set. The Illuminator resembles the Tyrell pyramid but I haven't decided how to finish it out...I'm open to suggestions! |

Hey OB ... how about a teaser photo (with the illuminator)? I think that will get the gang here all ready for one hell of an eBay free-for-all!
The cool thing is it will be mostly internal - by one of us, for us. The sad thing is the rich among us will have the upper-hand (give us a break Joan!)
I know you are hugely burnt after this Herculean project OB. Be sure to get some well-deserved rest. And as always, thanks again ... my bottle never seems to stay full!

Photek and Loyal, I have that same problem with my bottle!
Thanks for the kind words. I am burned out to be honest, this auction will be the last thing I post here for a long while. I am as you say, going to take a much needed break.
So here are the pics you requested and I am completely open to suggestions on how to finish out the Illuminator...stain? Brass trim? Tell me what you think:

Aged brass finish, give it that Tryell Building exterior look.

How about having these two individuals hold up your bottles to be illuminated?

brilliant suggestion Oldzey!!
OB - one word ... QUALITY! you are top-shelf my man. this is bee-yoo-tiful!
i'd have to agree with Loyalizer - an aged brass finish would really top it off.
speaking of topping off, after seeing your photos OB - my bottle hit bottom (again!)...
as always - well done. can't wait!

| Thanks guy's...still haven't decided exactly how I'm going to finish out the glorifier but Loyal is correct...there should be brass sheeting involved. |

Brass on the flats and black on the diamonds. It'll match up nicely with the JWB label. BTW, Love the stand!

Oooooo...nice idea Pete, Thanks!
The diamonds remind me of the sconces in the Tyrell Office and of course the general shape is reminiscent of the pyramid itself.

Any suggestions for what to do with two cases of broken BR Whiskey Bottles?
I can't seem to bring myself to smash them up and recycle them... |
