There's a Syd Mead painting showing a very similar vehicle to the lobster spinner (might be what its based off of). You might be able to figure the scale based on the figure standing next to it in the painting. The one thing about this spinner design is there's nothing that really looks like a...

I think they were standard large size headphone jacks or jacks from an electric guitar cable.

Never had any dealings with him myself, but four years is a bit of a red flag.

'Gamer Thor' from Avengers Endgame. Though I'd bet most people would just assume its The Dude Lebowski. Dominic Santini from Airwolf Get a sharp suit, shave your head and go as the Kingpin I packed on a few extra pounds myself, and I gotta be honest, I was thinking of going all-in as Fat Old...

FDM might have improved a bit, but that's still a lot of post processing and sanding. Also, depending on how you lay out the parts on an FDM printer, you can usually hide the ugly parts of the print out of view. I've long since quit trying to print props as one complete print and moved to a kit...

There was another build of this watch on here years ago. If I recall correctly, the guy molded the orange part and cast it in rubber. From what I remember, the connection between the two watch bodies rested against the orange part, not under it.

It came up on one of my Amazon searches a while ago, but living in CA, you can't get it shipped here due to restrictions. Good thing I can still get meth and an unregistered 9mm a few blocks down from my place tho.

Needs more weathering IMO. Great print and finish all the same.

dproc: it just looks like the starter sidearm from every shooter game of the last 10 years. "What I'd give for one more mission with that sh*tty old rifle." ~Zaeed Massani- Mass Effect 2. He's the guy that beats the whole game with the starter rifle.

Not to derail this thread, so only a couple pics. I snagged it of Ebay in 2017 for a low price because there's an oval spot on the back of the collar where the dye didn't take (factory defect I'm guessing) and the seller had lowered the price. Considering how thrashed Plissken's jacket is, no...

Polo gets ahold of some interesting patterns from time to time. Years ago I snagged a Polo leather jacket, that was, aside from the color and level of distressing, a dead ringer for Snake Plissken's EFNY jacket, all the details were spot on, down to the welted button hole on the lapel.

Got the jacket in today, so on to the comparison. It should be noted my genuine MK3 was bought used and came with a lot of natural wear and distressing. At a glance or to the uninitiated, it would appear as the same jacket, but looking closer this is what is present/not present on the Alpha vs...

Spotted this on the Alpha Industries website. Not 100% accurate in a few details, but the closest you're likely to find in an off the rack item. I have one on the way, when it arrives, I'll let you know how it stacks up to an actual Mk3.

Way back in the day, I recall someone saying you could get that kind of texture effect by covering the areas with toilet paper that had been dipped in watered down PVA glue and then pushed around a bit on the surface and left to dry. I've no idea if it would actually yield good results, the most...

Could be a Kriss Vector with custom shrouds, grips, and stock. If not, its definitely inspired by one. My guess is the gunfire will be vfx instead of blank rounds as the shrouds would cover the ejection port on the Vector.
