Batteries Not Included

Does anyone on here know where the props are from this great film.
I'm hoping to start a build but need more reference.

Hi again

I don't ahve any info on the props but have the film if you want some screen caps of them.

I've only completed the drawing of Wheems seen from the top, but it might get you started.

Great stuff, here are some reference links:

Good luck!

Thanks for the help chaps.
I still don't know which one to build.

Wheems! To start with ofcourse...

Careful with those pics, although they look nice, they are not very accurate. I guessbecause of a lack of good reference pics available when they where build.

I dug out these I had on my HD.

I'm in love

Oh my god Staermose you're a great help.
Thanks for that.

Those are amazing shots, staermose. The copper one particularly grabs me. Are you planning on any puppet-like articulation Neo?

No problem.
Seems I forgot a few of the little blue fella.
Here are the rest.

Where do we lone up?? LOL.. They look awesome, takes me back..

I doubt it Blipper.
These are great Staermose but what about the parents ?
I think I might do one of those, everyone seem to build Wheems.

Sorry but these are the only pics I have.
No good references of the parents sadly.

I think most people build Wheems bcause he gets a lot of screen time, and also he is the simplest of the five main UFOs.

The parents, especially the father could be very complicated to build. But until better reference material shows up, this is only my Personal guess.

"Allright, you've talked me into it!"

I've just started this drawing:

A little further.

Right side done, left should be easy
If anybody has any ideas or pics of what may be some missing pieces, please chime in.

Nice work dude

yeah great drawings. i wouldnt mind building one

Have you lot seen those pics of the family from SDCC ? Theyre very good

I love this film

Ditto, its a sweet movie that reminds me of being a kid. And its totally awesome that someone is doing a build for it!

Its awesome to see these little guys up close and in such detail, i love the little blue guy.
A big thankyou for the photo share, brings mack some memories.

As i recall, im pretty sure one of the parent ships were destroyed id heard, there is some ref out there of both, but its one of those "sensitive" issues sadly, still, its great to see the little guys.
