(Booze And Recreational Drinking In Space.) So, it a fit of insanity I built this over the course of a couple of years. The concept was that the Tardis materialized half-way into a wall of my house. I essentially took a Newberry Tardis and built about half of it into a bar cabinet. It has...

Re: Star Wars Episode VII On some movie sites this is an unpopular opinion but I'm right there with you. On first viewing of the new Trek film I kind of liked the score, but now I can't even watch the flick because the repetitiveness of the score grates. Giacchino is only considered a...

Re: Harry Potter "Runes Dictionary" book prop replica progress It's funny because even though most of those runes go back a long way and have been utilized by everybody including Tolkein, when I saw the cover of your prop my first thought was "somebody on the Potter set had played Ultima III."

Depending on your budget you could do the moving portrait thing from Hogwarts using those digitial picture frames. Also- lots of ideas for things like HP chests and stuff here. Don't forget a stuffed owl in a cage. :)
