My latest thing is up - bit of a long one this time, probably has something to do with the fact that I'm pretty proud of the result

Bought this lineman's (guys that climb poles) phone for five bucks at the Habitat for Humanity store. No idea what to do with it (I haven't had a landline for a decade) but the 70s-80s sci-fi aesthetic is wonderful. I can just imagine picking it up and hearing Han Solo's death star intercom conversation coming out. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

I have a deep love for the classic kitbashing, found-items style of prop building - but I'm not gonna sit here & tell you that the custom prop work on "Blade Runner 2049" isn't absolutely stunning

Early stage, preliminary assembly - still a way to go, but the project seems to be moving in the right direction...
I don't remember which of you film nerds recommended this but I thank you 
what a wonderful example of movie ephemera still living on - I can't even really explain why I love that, but I do 
Always wanted to visit Elstree, of course; it's film history - now I know that if I ever do, building 5 has to be part of the tour, whether allowed or not

Honestly, I think the finish testing for my Sicarius Dracorum is going pretty well

As the description says, I finally reached "Heck it!" 
here it is, the video about my Aliens pulse rifle

Making good progress on my next - well, current, I guess - prop project do you recognize it...?

I can't begin to imagine how cool it must have been, going through Stuart Freeborn's workshop-filled house for months...! 
For the uninitated, Freeborn is the guy who made Yoda, Chewbacca & the 2001 hominids (one of which I saw up close when the Kubrick exhibit visited Copenhagen ). He was the grandpappy of special effects makeup & a groundbreaking puppet maker whose work influences movie making to this day.

I love seeing all the processes & sets & design & stuff, obviously - but oddly, this still doesn't make me very curious to watch SILO... seems like people like it, but as a lifetime #scifi fan, the "evil computer secretly controls closed society" genre REALLY has a hard sell on its hands to convince me there's an original, compelling story there

More absolutely iconic pieces from the upcoming #propstore auction I don't know which is cooler - the "Move Along!" stormtrooper helmet, or an empire blaster Carrie Fisher held in her hands

I think I would be at least as giddy as #AdamSavage meeting this super-duper-iconic #SFX prop 
I'm not one of those "Waaah, CGI is killing movies" types but there is one decidedly bad thing it does do: It robs us of future moments like these. Nobody can collect the artifacts from the movies they love if they only ever existed as 3D models - which also means an ongoing loss of institutional knowledge...

Wow, he hero Green Goblin costume from Raimi's 2002 "Spiderman" Willem Dafoe appears to be a seriously tiny man, did not know that

Some truly amazing props here: McReady's stupid hat from "The Thing" & Sark's helmet/headdress from "Tron"
And yes, 1982 was a bumper year, giving us movies like 48 Hours, First Blood, The Dark Crystal, Wrath of Khan, Blade Runner, E.T. and Conan, just to name a few
