After seeing last night's episode I couldn't wait to give this a go - how hard can it be?

I usually keep a few sheets of parchment paper lying around for projects like this. I began by tearing the paper into roughly the same shape as the original, and started sketching out the lettering.



More updates soon.

I added more tea to the parchment using a paintbrush then traced around the title with a brown ballpoint pen. I also curled some of the edges up slightly, to give that ancient, aged effect.



Now I just need to add the rest of the text - this could take a while.

Almost there now.

As with the title, I sketched out the lettering in pencil then traced over it with a brown pen. To finish off I gave the paper another "coat" of tea staining.



Once the tea dries, I'll get some photos of the finished prop for you all.

All finished now!

At the request of Cardinal Hordriss, I had a go at turning my Veritas prop into a printout for anyone who wants to make their own.

Unfortunately, my scanner doesn't seem to be working properly, so my only option was to take a high-res photo of the prop and edit it to correct the perspective and remove as much of the background as I could with my limited skill. As you can see, it's nowhere near perfect, but I'm hoping it will still turn out okay once printed and tea-stained.


Basically, if anyone does want to use this, you will need to download the image and print it at 1:1 scale, then rip the edges to give it that appropriately ancient look.

Kind regards, The14thDr

Ideal. Thanks for your help The14thDr.
