- Thread starter MonCal
- Start date
Man - that is cool.
You have to be able to market your talent. Something like this in an entertainment room or kids room.
In the old days before this economic meltdown, i would want to hire you. Love it.
I think the interior of the Falcon should be your next challenge!

with the ESB anniversary, there's gonna be a lot of "empire" props out there, can't wait for it to happen
I gonna love meeting you guys at Celebration V...
the belgian garisson are bringing their props overseas to Celabration V
and I hope we could exchange a lot of propworking ideas and such...
please, hop over to our props and introduce yourselves, I cannot wait to meet you guys
wouldn't it be great if CV organisation would make some sort of groups of props that resembles an part of the movie
the Belgians are coming with:
the snowspeeder, The Endor Bunker, The outrider chess corner
and a all new huge (and I mean Huge) prop (I can not name it, It's gonna be a hell of a suprise for you guys) and a lots more....

Thats a beautiful thing.
Thanks everyone for the compliments!!! I appreciate it as do the folks who helped me. Now spread our name around so we can get some work and buy some food 
hehe.. www.farawaycreations.com I hope to have a facebook page up just for our little F/X company soon.
Thanks Tom!!! I actually tried contacting Richard prior to starting the project but my email probably went to his spam folder We bought some of the supplies from the same place he has bought some stuff and I saw his mug on their site.
The torch just smoothed out the surface and got rid of some of the "human" carving idiosyncrasies. It also gave it a little bit of a hard shell to start with. A heat gun does the same thing. It makes it shrink a lot so be careful.
See previous question The foam just turned darker blue with the torch.
Not sure. The Air and Space Museum in Denver was going to store it. It's where LFL's X-wing is but now they say they don't want it. Maybe we'll end up selling it if the right buyer comes along
Ah man... tell me about it. We are wondering how we're going to keep the lights on and what we're going to eat most of the time. It's been a huge leap of faith trying to do this stuff. I hope I don't burn out before I make that "right" connection.
It was quite a lot actually!! With every passing day I felt like I needed yet another $500 .... another $500 ... and on and on. If I could collect for the labor involved that adds a bunch.
Blue EPS foam. You can get it at Lowes or most lumber yards.

Awesome work
best,

not sure how much it will help but I can post a link on my site in the links page. you have a banner? if you want to see my site just PM me. I know some people want to know where such representation would be going so as not to be associated with something dire.
