Back To The Future props?

[PHArchivist]

Just watched the trilogy...

This Board/hobby has repeatedly seen what I'd call a standard set of props from the films, like the Sports Almanac, the Ooo La La rag, the Pizza Hut wrapper, the YOU'RE FIRED fax, the letter Marty writes to Doc in 1955, and the Hover Boards.

But what else is out there?

Anyone seen the toy cars used in Doc's "crude models"?
How about the memory device/head gear Doc is wearing when Marty meets him in 1955?
The letter Doc writes to Marty from 1885?

And what I'd love to see most...

Doc's rifle from 1885 that can "shoot a flea off a dog's back from 500 yards"...

I have these:

Oh, I know it wasn't really the point of this thread, but show me the board... It has to be the ultimate BTTF prop.

NICE props. :eek Dang man, I haven't even gotten the ebay packet of flyers, book covers, pics, etc out there yet.
I don't have a replica I made or an accurate hat, but I have these:[attachmentid=12272]
I used the flash-soaked pic cause it set off the hat so well the more mangled-looking cap to the left is the old Visionary cap from Fantasma. The cam is the real deal, a JVC VHS-compact cam. The battery won't charge, I'm sad to say because I would LOVE to get footage of people freaking when I use it and wear the future costume in work

I made this....

And these...


And I made this a while back...


Among all the standards ie. Hoverboard, Martin Jr.s cap, OUTATIME Plate, etc...

I remember the thread about the check. Very cool. And the bat fits right in the category of props I have in mind for this thread. Would love to hear more about how you made it. I also would love to see and hear about your OUTATIME plate. I looked into this; gave about a 50% to 75% effort, then gave it up...

One quick comment -- this is not meant to down play the "standard" set of props at all... Just looking for more.

All things BTTF are game.

Please, please tell more on the camera. That is one of my "Holy grails" from this series of films. Love it.

I have all of the printable props from BTTF 1 - 3, been thinking of making the flux capacitor and need help IDing the box from BTTF 1 that the duc used for the plutonium.

 

[Jedifyfe]

See first post

 

[starfighter66]

wow, looks great - amazing.

 

[hoverboy]

It would be cool to have the people that made any of their props to post tutorials on haw to make them. That would be fun.

It's heavy Heavy for its size, that is. I get the feeling this was pretty high-tech in 1985, Doc's money at work
One side note that's kinda funny: as you can see from the controls you CANNOT FWD or RWD without your finger on the buttons, but Marty did B)[attachmentid=12288][attachmentid=12289]
What else would you like to know?

[howlingwind13]

Does this count?
I have sooo much more than this...I do need the flux bands, and time circuits. But all in all I'm about 70%
AS soon as the engine is tuned up and some minor mechanical work is done...I start the project.

The JVC GR -C1v, I took one of those to Italy with me in 1985- haven't still got it :cry
I have a fully working JVC GR-C2v which is the model with auto focus that replaced the one used in BttF.
I have all the accessories which are compatible with the GR-C1 including the battery charger and spare batteries.


Biff's broken cane or Marty's guitar from the open sequence might be cool props. :love

Some parts of that camera look like JVC's newest GY-HD110 model (High Definition camera), like the camera connector and such. funny how little technology changes on some items .

But grreat camera..

[Jumpin Jax]

Alright alright, enough with the Deloreans. Talk about "standard" Can't wait to get my own.

The texas plate? The car was bought in Texas...

As for a flux capacitor... I made both of mine. You can find some pretty good tutorials for one over at rookscastle.com

The broken cane is one of the things I was thinking about as I watched the trilogy. The guitar is a currently avaialble item (at least it was a year or two ago), but it ain't cheap.
