[PropsToHistory]

Not necessarily a movie prop, but a prop of a thing that made movies.

Still wip, but getting close.

tripod is original. The rest is either cast/printed or turned.

Still have 3 lenses to make yet.

Would be pretty wicked to build a digital camera inside one of those.

Amazing work!

I have been after the camera for my king kong collection. If you sell one off or sell a kit im highly interested, its the closest ill get to a real one

So I can finally say why I built this.

In the newly released Babylon by Paramount a camera gets destroyed by horses and sets off a plot point in the film.

These cameras were made for that.

I had 0 idea what I was making it for until about a year ago.

But that's how that goes.
