I have been playing with this for a while and I think I have come up with a fountain with the correct sound like the one in the scene that Beatrix takes out Oran ishi What do you think?

Looks like the connector off of some old stage lighting

Yeah mannn I need to have it done for this battle of the bands. I can make or buy everything but the quarter skins are going to be the deal breaker.:cry I have a plan but the key element is an early 50's Caddy. If I can locate somone with one first and if they would let me make a mold using...

Since I run a Body shop I thought I would give a go at a movie car. I thought I would try a vehicle that is not too complex for my first. Here is what I hope to do. Here is what I am starting with First of all I need to find Quarter skins from a 50-54 Cadillac.

Re: Warehouse 13 Prop Research - The Farnsworth Thr faceplate is my hurddle too :cry

Funny I just got mine from the framer today. Will post some pics in the morning........well how about now. I am happy with it. I chose no matte and a blue anodized frame.

WOW that is very nice! Anyone else mounted their Leap of Faith? Post up some pics of yours

thank you. I would have like to have had the same wood but that would be tough. The other side had been stained with a lighter stain and some hadgot on the side. So that helped making it look older. I took a sharpy and drew a couple random lines that look like some of the cracks in the wood...
