Re: Another prop room ...
Thanks again fellas ... it's been a lot of years of collecting and trading to amass this much stuff!
Yesterday I went to the post office to pick up The Elder torso that Scott Marshall was working on for me. He used about 6 Uhaul boxes to box this thing up. Here's what it looked like when he shipped it from Canada:
This box was 4' x 4' x 2'. Being an all resin piece there was very little doubt in my mind that USPS would find a way to damage and smash this thing.
I drove to the post office and it was too large for my Bonneville. I got my neighbors hatchback - no dice. I then borrowed my friends minivan and success! I got that baby home.
It literally took me 30 minutes to unpack and unwrap this thing and much to my surprise not a scratch or ding on it. A testament to Scott's packaging ability. Only one lower mandible tooth came loose and that was it.
Here's a quick vid I shot of it:

The bone necklaces were shipped seperately - here they are on the Elder:
I have some all metal machined gauntlet blades that I plan on shipping out to Scott to complete the gauntlet boxes. We have yet to discuss whether or not we want to include electronics in the other gauntlet box.
He has also begun sculpting legs for this project:
It was a nerve wrecking couple of weeks waiting for this to arrive. Phew! Glad the 'ordeal' is over! LOL!
On a totally unrelated note - I would like to wish everyone here a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! Be safe guys!
