Blade Runner Inspired Office Build: Deckard's Apartment

Yep, that was the plan. But after doing tons of research, looking for existing solutions, 3d modeling a few iterations of a mechanism, I decided it wasn't worth the effort. I also don't want to have to have a card with me every time I go into my office.
I may route a slit into the wood deep enough for the card to insert a bit. The door will be on a roller catch so I could technically just insert the card and push the door openSpoke to fast (silly me)...are you going to make the slit to insert the card...or not?
If you are interested in an "in universe" solution for the coat rack, the Planta coat rack found in Bryant, Leon and Zhora's rooms would work nicely.
Yep, I've been looking at those for a while trying to find one at a decent price. They're crazy expensive for a plastic coat rack. And quite large. I ended up going with a $20 from amazon that fits in the corner.
I kinda dig the minimalist aspect to the $20 version to be honest. Less is more sometimes.
Absolutely beautiful Trent, bravo. I have just sat at my work desk, shut my eyes and listened. Absolutely beautiful!
I kinda dig the $20 aspect of it. lol
I believe he used Kropserkel's. They are mirror images of the originals.

Really enjoying following this thread! Some serious work gone into this project, would love to do something similar in the future. We’ll have to see if we can get Adam savage to do a tour when it’s done!
Not really. Still waiting to finish the door. I don't trust myself with drilling the hole for the roller latch and the staining. I'm going to have to rely on hdtheater 's skills and talents yet again for it to be done right.
I did make up the alignment template for the door numbers so I could get those positioned accurately.
OH and I made this silly little decal to put on the butt plate of my blaster to accurately replicate the scratch pattern of the real prop. One of those completely unnecessary but super satisfying details.

I finally took the plunge and removed the labels off of my (fairly rare) Smirnoff Czar bottle to convert it into a “Tsingtao” bottle as seen in the film. I spent hours pouring over reference material to try and make a set of labels that replicated the look of the film props as close as I could get them. This is my interpretation. There is very little reference of them so I obviously had to make some guesses, and the smaller print is completely made up (with some Easter eggs, of course.)
The blue “seal” is really hard to make out but in the one shot we can see, it looks like a blue spherical pearl with what is possibly a gold ridge. It’s very hard to make out. I found some buttons on Amazon that I thought looked the part so that’s what I went with.
The labels are printed and machine cut out of clear vinyl on a high-end eco-solvent printer/cutter. The yellow "tax strip" decals are matte vinyl to more closely approximate paper but with the stretch and durability of vinyl.
