If you need reference pictures, try this site PaperToTravel Most of the images for their WW2 German passports are close ups of details (which should be helpful) but this one in particular Germany : Passport - Type 4 (1940) Issued During Third Reich / Nazi Germany Period gives a really good...

Hey guys, I work at a cinema and we received a fibreglass BB-8 for display today. I know the Target display one was out of proportion, so I took a couple of quick measurements. The dome on this one has a circumference of 900mm and the ball is 1560mm so it roughly works out to diameters of...

Hollywood Parts used to have these up for sale, I think at one stage they were trying to offload them (they offered me some as compensation for a mix up with an order). They're Hollywood PRIME now with Profiles In History, so it might be worth hitting them up.

I can recommend AMC as well. The crew that work in the shop here in Adelaide are extremely helpful and the prices online are a bit cheaper to account for what you're going to spend on shipping, which is pretty reasonable anyway.

The robe Darth Lars mentioned was sold at Bonhams in 07. They've got a high res image on their site. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/15337/lot/362/

Re: Shield of Boromir That looks fantastic! The detail is extremely impressive. What sort of lathe did you use to shape the blank?

Hey, has anyone else noticed Bilbo is wearing the ring in the still of him in Erebor?

Here are the runes as I figured them out from photos. I was going to look into getting them laser cut/engraved. With the hilt I was thinking about getting the runes cut flat, make the hilt as a separate piece and then attach a cast of the runes on. How do you intend to build yours?

On one of the other Mjolnir threads one of the propmakers came forward and confirmed the rings were silver. Also in photos of the Olly Moss Mjolnir they look really clearly silver.

I think this could be really interesting. There was a decent series of books that were released after the film that carried on the story of the film independent of SG-1. I remember reading somewhere that the books were more what the original creators (Emmerich?) envisioned. Having just checked...

That's fantastic! Looks well worn. Do you mind if I ask how much you got your Sam Browne for? I'm having a hard time finding one for what I consider a reasonable price.

Here you go. This is made from an image of Mjolnir from Thor 2 so it fills out the space more. When I was working on it I figured the sides and the top are slightly different shapes but you can just stretch it to size.

That looks great! Is that a bigger scale than the ones Weta are selling?
