Blade Runner Inspired Office Build: Deckard's Apartment

Love the updates I see that the gun is on the piano, on its side The RCA elevator control panel will be a very nice addition for sure. I believe that you're not out of the rabbit hole yet

Never. It's like the set designers and prop masters were psychic, and chose to only select the most rare, expensive, obscure, and hard to find pieces to fill the set.

At the time of filming they where probably common bin finds.

Skoda Morser sculpture is an original ? I had heard that some replicas exist.
Great work and bravo for posting progressive shots of all steps

Yeah it’s an original.
Where did you hear that replicas exist? It was only identified a few weeks ago and we have only seen a few of them listed for auction/sale. I’d be interested to see pictures of a replica to see how close it is.

 

[rickhoward]

I'm curious too, TechSpai.

 

[Buch]

Replicas? I'm very curious too!

 

[stussy]

Maybe he meant Replicants exist.

 

[TechSpai]

I was probably mistaken, or wishful thinking as usual. There are models of the Morser, but perhaps not that sculpture.

 

[Trooper_trent]

Ahh! Yes there are different scale models of the mortar. I'm pretty sure this specific bronze cast one mounted on marble has not been replicated. It was made by the same company that manufactured the actual mortar, Skoda Works, if I'm not mistaken.
Here's the plaque on the back side of it.

Darn is this is not simply one of the coolest builds ever done on here. Amazing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Small updates to the piano display. I moved some things around and found a Japanese lacquer jewelry box that is the same size as the one on Deckard's piano that the Dazor lamp sits on. It doesn't have an accurate painting on front but it's the same style of box and will suffice as a stand-in until such time as a closer one can be identified/found.

Looking good!

 

[joberg]

Beauty all around and I can see you have the small Buddha head also

Looking very nice. I apologize if this was mentioned already, but is your piano the same model as in the film?

No, Deckard's is a grand piano. Not sure the make, but at least a 5'9". I don't have that kind of room in my small office so I moved my digital upright in. It's just a "close enough"

Probably a medium grand

For the piano display, Deckard has a 6x6 square oak picture frame with a photo of two boys. I couldn't find a good shot of it so I made my own using pictures of my son from when he was little.
I thought it turned out pretty well.

I like it, but judging by the other white objects next to it in the screencaps, it looks like the matte is a light gray or brown.

Yep, cream/off-white. I don't have it matted yet. that's just the photopaper border for now.
