Yeah, what's with movie makers :behave , don't they realize us prop geeks need 5 minutes of glamour shots from each angle so we can make these things? :lol I like the electric prod from the first movie too. I may have to start looking for parts. Dollar stores have some sink strainers and...

Re: The Nine Gates - NEW PHOTOS (page 7) Thanks for the info. I've seen many books with those symptoms. So many people don't get it :wacko I hope you don't mind the questions, I could look stuff up on Google but this more fun. I've got a little old school book that is falling apart (I...

Re: The Nine Gates - NEW PHOTOS (page 7) Ever had a finger snapping page turner? :angry turns each page by lifting the page partway between thumb and forefinger then snaps the fingers to make the page flip the rest of the way, leaving a crinkle spot at the bottom of each page :angry :angry...

Re: The Nine Gates - COMPLETED I should have clarified I was thinking "supernatural after effects or unexplainable occurrences" :lol

Re: The Nine Gates - COMPLETED Just found this thread, fabulous project, thanks for sharing the documenting. I've always loved fictional illustrated "antique" books in movies and this is a good (? - :rolleyes ) one. I have a rather nice reproduction of The Grail Diary from Indy J and the Last...

And a few more, all recycled or repurposed parts. Thanks for looking, hope to visit more often.

Thanks, RPF, for the recent birthday greeting and it's good to see you back from where you were :behave . I've been a bit busy, here's what I produced for my booth at our local comic expo at the end of April. Lots of comments and sold a few too :cool

It is EXTREMELY UNFAIR to have this kind of twisted brilliance be allowed in a contest. :lol This is way beyond my puny human brain. :thumbsup :thumbsup Congrats on such a :cool concept and execution.

If I were a judge in this, I could be bought. :love Great creations all, nice to see them all finally.

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Or maybe not, I've been doing this without the Bison. And I think it was harder for me to alter the existing than start from scratch. :wacko @Tack, that is intimidating, finish it off!

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Some more very keen variants. It's interesting how the ontest splits into the "whimsical" and the "realistic" raygun concepts. The Indelible Steer is an excellent example of the latter with a top notch...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Can't have enough chrome though, remember REAL cars from the '20's thru the '50's? Thanks Art and Weta, great contest though I'm surprised at only 50 completed entries. They won't have so many to go through...

Good idea for a thread, thank you. Some of you did a lot more chopping than I considered. ZombieKiller, the fun is in the detailing isn't it. I see you replaced all the plastic rivets with brass ones, very nice. We both had the same idea about banding the seams with brass strip but I didn't...

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Oh man, candy apple red double emitter awesomeness by applefish, Monk's chrome art deco beauty, The Bos (terrific logo too!), so many fantastic imaginative gun variants! :cry Can I start again :confused

Re: Weta - Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Contest! - SHOW OFF YOUR CONCEPTS AND DESIGNS Hey, pyxl how big is this device? Wow! To the light using guys - darn, I gotta learn lighting. Where do you get mini plasma globes? I'm new to the board, joined for the contest but I think I'll be hanging...
