How many shows are you doing? If the budget allows, I would buy several identical (cheap) wooden canes. Keep one pristine for scenes where it isn't broken. When it needs to be broken, swap it out for a cane that has been cut most of the way though. If you need a more realistic break, you could...

I'm thinking about making up a replica of Moss's face mug from IT Crowd, as seen in the photos. The sides of the mug are plane white. The trouble is, everything I can find deals with printing on the sides of the mug. So I have a few questions. Are there any outfits that will do custom mugs...

Re: Pepakura Proton Pack Build (Pic heavy) Actually, to me a pepakura is almost ideal for a proton pack. Think about it. Once you strip away all the cables and greeblies and cylinders (for which PVP pipe works fine) and cake pans, you are left with a bunch of rectangular boxes. Much less...

That display looks spot on. If I were making one of these (and I think I might need to put one on my to-do list) I would have a local sign maker make up the entire front as one piece with the numbers and commas in a translucent red, and then use those displays to illuminate the segments. It...

The newspaper in question is made by these guys: The Earl Hays Press The thread in question is here: http://www.therpf.com/f40/anybody-have-info-newspaper-88169/

The important question is not whether it is cool with the RPF, but if it is cool with the guy who drew up the images you are working from. Only way to find that out is to e-mail him and ask permission. If he says "yes," you are golden. If he says "no," then you either need to find an artist who...

You said you have injection holes in each wing and in the center. Where are you venting? If your bubbles are in consistent locations, drill more holes in the mold to allow air to escape where the bubbles are forming. If it were me, I would put a vent in the center, and at the highest point on...

How do you get the soy sauce to stay on? I would expect it to flake off pretty bad.

I have used Tamiya paint in the color x27 (clear red) for blood. Looked great. You'll want to mix in some black, but not too well. The streaks and chunks will make it look congealed. I used a black enamel I had lying around, I know that a lot of people use ink. You might also add a touch of...

I would get it signed by as many Captain America artists as you can find. I mean, what's the downside?

What about the Haunted Studios bird? I've heard some not too flattering things about them, but it would be interesting to see some comparison shots.

My Sherlock magnifying glass just came in the mail today. It's pretty rad.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just bought one. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

They show it towards the end of Victory of The Daleks when Churchill steals it. It looks like it's the same style that David Tennant had.
