Great collection and huge display space!! :thumbsup That Star Destroyer is absolutely superb!! I also like that Terminator leaning bust, is it 1:1? Who made it?

Y'know I have no idea who made the Terminator bust. It is 1:1 and it is very detailed. The eyes light up too.

I was actually going to post better pictures of it in another thread to get some "expert advice" on it. Stay tuned.

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

OKAY - Sooo where was I. A lot of great stuff came my way. I'm really slow with taking pictures so please excuse the delay. Work has been killer lately, and New York has been totally blitzed with massive amounts of snow lately.

Anyways - On with the pics!

I got this great screenused Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle III time travel machine scepter from Riggerbyte. It really is a very intricate prop. There's a motor built into the scepter, with some sort of remote receiver. I assume it was used to activiate the motor remotely. It also has a light built in below the orb so the whole chamber lights up. It really is a beautiful piece.

I'll spare this post the details of how much restoration I needed to do on this prop. However, I'll just say, this came from Australia and it got delivered during NY's blizzard.
Anyone else recognize this wonderful message from the USPS? (Sends a chill down your spine eh? :confused)

Next up - I received a constantine lighter from Marc - LeMarchand.
What can I say, I am absolutely blown away. I was first totally shocked by just how heavy it was. It was the perfect weight to just take and throw through a window (you crazy kids know what I'm talking about right?) Anyways, it really is a beautiful prop. Well worth the wait! As an ex smoker and collector of zippos, I can say that it even makes the satisfying "click" noise when you open it.

Okay - pics!:

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

Did you do more work on Superman? The proportions look damn near perfect!

I had a chance to see pics of the scepter when it first arrived. Oh man, my heart bleed for you buddy but you did a PHENOMENAL restoration job on it.

Your collection is always a sight to behold - thanks for the wonderful update! I can't see where you take it in 2011!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. It really gets me motivated to keep working and updating my stuff. The support is definitely felt and appreciated.

The Rocketeer jacket was from ebay, the helmet is a MR, and the rocket pack is, I believe, a MiM (Monsters in Motion) kit that was built and painted. I got the rocket pack from the now banned Houdiniguy and I didn't get too many details on it.

Haha - hate you too man - hate you too. :lol Thanks again!

I was totally motivated to do a little more work on cleaning things up. I put up a 3' Stargate made by Xeno. It's a great great great replica of the stargate. There is just so much detail in each of the pieces it really blows my mind every time i look at it. It even lights up in sequence or all at once. I'm trying to find some sort of metallic blue paper or mylar that I can put inside the gate to give the impression of the wormhole.

I put it up at the entranceway of my bookshelf door so it's the first thing I see on the way down

Those of you who are psychology majors would probably say that I was inclined to put the stargate up at the entrance because it's a "portal" to my basement lair. :rolleyes Actually, that's kid of the idea that I was going for

Still plugging away - more updates to come soon.

Hope you've got the sofa all made up for me; I'm comin' in for a visit!

Oh' and I'd appreciate it if you could stock up on some G2 this time; grape and frost will do just fine.

Everything looks amazing, man!

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

A little fun update! Found these props buried under a pile of stuff. It's like a fun treasure hunt.

So here are two padds that I got waaaaay back in the day. I love these because the screen is actually etched metal. It's not just printed paper or something (i don't know what they're using) Etched metal might not be accurate to the actual props but it makes for a wonderful display.

To match the Padd- I have this little display model of the Ceti eel. It's resin - and comes with this interesting dome/scientific canister display. I have sand that I haven't put down on the base yet because I haven't found a permanent home for this yet in my display.

Okay - I'm going to keep diggin' Have a great weekend guys!

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

update on the stargate from page 6, I think it looks much better now:

Franklin Mint Classic enterprise and 1701-D. They're not the most accurate, the color is a bit off here and there.. but it's all die cast metal and has the cool little bridge miniatures inside.

Updated the gobler idol display with moss from Michael's. Took a while to find moss that looked similar to the one on screen:

Here's a guilty pleasure of mine - I had a lot of fun collecting the Star Trek Micro Machines. After about of year of searching and collecting, I finally got them all. (The Star Wars micros were simply a product of buying many lots of star trek/wars lots from ebay)

Fun Stuff - Jedi Mickey. I think that this was the first disney character that they released in star wars clothes. Never bothered getting the other ones after that. It has a nifty light up lightsaber.

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

ave4,
i really like your set up here....
can i ask what you use for your display stands? those black ribbed bases that you have your props sitting on?
it really helps to make everything look uniform and organized.
great display!!!!!!

ave4uevoli · Feb 9, 2011

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

I get them all from here: Retail product display tables. Portable display tables.

They're cheaper than solid pedestals and they can be folded flat if you don't need them.

I agree, everything in a nice uniform display does look much nicer. I haven't purchased new pedestals in while. Sadly things are getting less and less uniform as time goes on. :unsure

dreaminspired · Feb 9, 2011

Re: Collection Showoff- taking a break... hah - who am I kidding

awesome! thanks for the link. pretty cool that they can be folded flat too.
great collection, man!

I actually have no idea where Rylo lives (he knows that if I found out, I would go over there and hold him hostage until he made me a captain america shield. That's right Rylo! I'm talking about YOU :ninja) - I just know we're all on the east coast somewhere. :thumbsup haha - you know us east coast people, we're just unfriendly like that.
