    Accurate money bricks

    Hi all, I've seen several companies that make prop money for various movies. Unfortunately, they seem to be rather expensive if you want to get a really realistic money bricks. The kind of big brick you'd see in a bank robbery kind of scene. Problem is - most of these guys want around $500...

    Good point about the screen shots. Here are two I found online that show the little displays. I can see if I can borrow the DVD back to get better ones if needed... Front view: Side/back view:

    Mini CRT displays in Brazil

    Just got done watching Brazil. Forgot how great many of the props were in that movie! I loved the tiny little 4" crt displays that they used. My engineer mind freaks out seeing the high voltage fly-backs and plugs open with actors hands so close! Does anyone who still makes those or know...

    Clue the movie props

    That's pretty cool info! I'd love to know if anyone has id'ed the actual murder weapons. I would love to buy copies if they are simple enough to get. I know the rope should be easy enough to duplicate. :)

    Clue the movie props

    I know the house used for the outside shots burned down a number of years ago, and that the interiors were done via sets. Does anyone know if there are any props from that movie around or in a collection anywhere? I'd love to see one, or heaven forbid, actually own one...

    Clue the movie props

    Do any of these exist? I haven't found any real props from it. I know the house was a matte painting, the one they shot the fronts for burned down, and the whole interior was on a set which was torn down (I believe). It's my favorite movie - and I'd love to own something from it if stuff...

    Building my new aliens pulse rifle.

    Excellent work - I'm in the middle of getting my stuff back from Matsuo as well and can't wait to get mine together. What fiberglass cloth did you use - and what paint did you use? I'm shooting for almost this exact effect...

    Will it get siezed?

    Thanks everyone for the tips! And the recommendations for airsoft shops overseas. I'm going to be getting a cap-fire M1A1 Thompson at some point, and I'll definiitely check those sites out. I contacted my marshalling service, and they said they could wrap the barrel in orange tape for me in...
