Yeah, Awesome Collection.

The "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat is one of my favorite paintings.

It's the RollingStone issue from "Romancing the Stone". When Jack and Joan are hiding out in the crashed plane, Jack is reading about the "Doobie Brothers breaking up". This issue is the one he is holding. It really does have an article about the Doobie Brothers.

Not a daft question at all.

Brad

Great props and displays, too!

It's always nice to see how people display stuff.

Care to discuss a bit about which pieces are original/screen used? Maybe post a few close ups?

Very curious about a few of the indy bits in Kevjh's post...

best,
Tom

Actually, after recently watching this movie, (one of my favorites), I checked out the magazine in freeze-frame and, after doing some internet research, found out that it's issue #377 (SEPT. 2, 1982) with Elvis Costello on the cover. I don't know if it actually contains any references to the Doobie Brothers breaking up or not, but it's definitely the one that Michael Douglas was using in that scene. By the way Brad, where did you get that awesome picture of Jack Colton's "dream-boat"?

VERY interesting. I was told by a member here, that this was the issue. Without thinking twice about, I bought it. Hmmmmm.

As for the boat pic. I made it in photoshop. I posted it in the paper prop section. It's 99% close.

Thanks Adam C.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO SURE THERE PROP ROOMS

Neat stuff Kev! I really like the Last Crusade artwork. And the lifemask is just an oddball fun piece

I notice in your displays, the pieces all seem to share the same space.

Do you take any steps to ID which pieces are replica and which are original in your displays? When I had more replicas (at one point I had quite a few Indy replicas and originals come to think of it!), I used to make an effort to give the original pieces a bit more space and "air" around them and usually would ID them with a small plaque.

I could still step back and enjoy the collection as a whole but doing that added some importance to those pieces which had a bit more history.

Obviously, I'm not trying to tell you how to display anything. Just musing out loud on the subject. Would be curious to hear what other folks think about mixing replicas and originals and how they approach it.

Tom

The snaggletooh piece always makes my heart skip a beat. I always like seeing fellow toy collectors have it mixed with props.

Well, especially in terms of the old Kenner SW stuff (and Remco monsters), that's where it all began!

That said, I do keep them somewhat segregated with a dedicated "section" of space just for toy displays. Personally, I prefer not to mix toys and original props in the same case/area. They're both great things to collect (and near and dear to my heart!) but IMO, they each have more impact when displayed separately.

still working on my prop room - It's a constant struggle. My house just went through a major renovation (see all the boxes) and then now my house is going under construction again!

I started grouping "like" things together, Blade, Star Trek, Vader/Star wars takes up a whole wall. I'm still working on Dredd which is why it's in the middle of the room... many things in boxes - many things on the floor.. .blah

started fixing up superman's crystal console again - the batman suits still need to be mounted - I"ve got a blade ninja costume and 66 batman costume that still needs a mannequin - 3 foot stargate and phaser rifle display that need ot be hung on the wall - the list goes on and on.. but it's coming along slowly

I soooo love seeing pics of your collection......that room (and all your goodies too) is simply amazing!!!! I could permanently live in there.

Just shown my missus the pics, saying....."one day, one day......I want a room just like that" She told me to tell you that she is very impressed

Whoa! Love the collections.
Tom, that is one seriously impressive collection.
It's already been said but really love the Snaggletooth aswell
