    Aug 2, 2012 - My Super 8 ( Super8 ) Display - Props Research picture heavy Display Updated 8/12/12 #1

    I really enjoyed watching the Super 8 movie and was searching for some props I could add to my display......

    First, there was only a cube available on shapeways:



    Its a good looking cube, but not screen accurate.

    The Argus Cube replicas in passive mode made by QMx are pretty cool:



    Okay........thats nice so far, but the cubes felt alone and needed some paper props next to them :





    I was able to print some faxes, pictures of the Argus Cube, an ID Card and so on with the help of some Super 8 viral sites (Gonna Be MINT! - SUPER 8 - At Cinemas Everywhere AUGUST 5 - ----- - Revalistic | Just another WordPress site and more

    The Super 8 cameras used in the movie are cool props too - the camera used in the beginning of the movie can clearly be identified as an eumig MACRO SOUND 65 XL



    I get a working one:



    I identified the Kodak Film, they used for their zombie movie project:





    and found a still intact Kodak Ektachrome 160 cartridge:



    The second camara, after the first one broke, was identified as a Kodak Ektasound 140:





    Again I bought one of these for cheap... just for my display, since it doesn´t work anymore:





    I made some more paper props : the family photo, some polaroids and even the script, they might have used while filming on the train station:



    believe me, making those polaroids was a pain in the *** , but the result was well worth it

    On Joe´s desk you can see many more nice things, one of them is a vintage Bryan Ohio Tin Tool Box, that you can see on one of the viral sites (gonnabemint)



    and in the movie:



    I found one of these tin boxes on eBay:





    I found and identified more items and will show them later, when there is some interest. thanks for looking

    Wow! You really went 'above and beyond' on this Stefan! I've often thought about what other Super8 props could be added to a collection, (other than the cube), and you really nailed it. Nice work man!

    WoW Stefan... Congrats. This is realy a nice (hopefully growing) Super 8 collection
    I realy like that movie. Unfortunately it has never realy been "in the focus" about prop replicating Maybe this will change now a little bit

    Good luck on your hunt for further S8 props.

    thanks so much !

    I identified some more things and just wait for them to arrive here.
    First I think I found the walkie talkies they used in the movie:



    They look like these vintage walkie talkie



    these are LULU MONDE MODEL GTC-404 Walkie Talkies with a morse code in front

    next one is a Batman´s Detective Comic hanging on the wall in the background in Joe´s room:



    you can read a bit about this issue here Detective Comics 475 - The Joker Wiki

    you can see many classic Aurora models in the movie, as the Aurora “Hunchback of Notre Dame”



    or The Invisable Man

    well, I can´t believe, that a dude from Germany is the only one with a Super 8 display?

    come on, show what you have

    I have a sale in the junkyard right now with some Super 8 props, when you want to build your own display
