Blake's 7 prop replicas?

[Nobby]

My friend makes these which I've attached photos of.
You can often see these for sale on my ebay site which is awbestbargains where you can make further enquiries.

Excellent! Many thanks

My friend makes these attached although it's not a kit, it's a completed bracelet.

I'd still love to have a kit of the Liberator teleport bracelet. I'm crap at cutting PVC pipe cleanly like that.

How much does he usually ask for one of those?

He usually sells them for between £99 & £150 which can often be seen for sale on my ebay page which is AWBESTBARGAINS so even if they are not listed just now you can still look at the feedback left by other buyers and make enquiries/offers.

Well, that puts it WAY out of my budget. Thanks though!

I'm gonna bump this one, cause I'm only a few episodes away from the series end! I'm sure we all know what that means. Time for propping because I want to run around my basement pla-- Because I want to collect. Anyway...

I've been looking over the pics of the Liberator guns in this thread, and I realized this will a very tricky one to tackle - I wondered if anyone has anything to post regarding... a starting off point for trying to tackle this build. Found parts lists? Basic dimensions? Scratch building methods...? Amusing anecdotes? I can't seem to find much on how this prop went together originally.

Thanks!

I have a couple of Martin Bower made Teleport bracelets. One was made about 10 years ago and the other more recently and there are some differences between them (different shade of colour, different hinge etc). Must get some pics and post them.

 

[greatwazoo42]

Yes, yes. You must. You must!

It's been a while - but... my first three bracelets are finished

and my first Federation troopers rifle is nearly done too!

[Sc0tty]

Yes, yes. You must. You must!

Lol, will do. Will post some later todsay.

 

[Sc0tty]

Yes, yes. You must. You must!

Here are pics of the 2 Martin Bower bracelets I have. Sorry for the blurriness of the pics. I have a camera that refuses point blank to take close up pictures. Which is a bit of a problem for a camera I would have thought.

This is the first bracelet I got about 10 years ago.

and more of the first bracelet.

and the last two



Pictures of the 2nd bracelet just coming.

This is the 2nd Martin Bower bracelet only recently received:

 

[Sc0tty]

And the last of the 2nd bracelet. Just putting together pics of them side by side now.



(For some reason Photobucket deleted all my pics. The ones in my next post show the two bracelets quite well anyway though).

 

[Sc0tty]

Here are the pics of the two bracelets side by side and they have turned out a lot clearer that the previous ones. The differences between the more recent one and my original are as follows.:

The new one is:

A darker shade of brown.

The metal tape around the bracelet is more chrome than the original.

The text is darker in colour.

The pink/red thing is thinner.

The hinge is more prominent.

Size wise they are exactly the same.

Both great looking pieces though.

 

[Nobby]

are you planning a run?

 

[Sc0tty]

Not unless I suddenly turn into Martin Bower.
