Blade Runner police officer thread

[phase pistol]

This didn't quite fit into either the gun thread or the ID card thread, so I started this one up.

Just to organize the "external" police accoutrements, the badge, "995" pin, cap and so forth.

These are the best screencaps I had in my files

Those are some of the clearest images in the film of the police accessories.

Real castings for the hat and 995 badge can be found around online.

The hat hadge is actually curved if I remember right.

The picture badge looks like a modified belt buckle? Here is something close i have found.

That black and white photo

... makes the cop look really robotic - almost like the officers in THX-1138.

Somebody here on RPF mentioned that it looked like a buckle (before the Wondercon photos) and I did this up based on buckles I found on the web. They actually have buckles that will use your photo.

Time to bust out some cool photos on a wierd subject.

[Blad]

No they can't.

If you are referring to 'Sidkit' and various others then look at the images.

Completely different.

I'm perfectly willing to be proven wrong though.

What kind of police hat did they use?
I've had a look for the right shaped hat with a rain cover but I can't find one.
It would be really easy to vac form the goggles and face shield...

Speaking of which: take another look at that very first shot you posted:

The guy looks as if he's got a mannequin face. Like Charlie Evans got pissed off at him and erased his features.

What do you mean by "real," Nick? Do you mean cast from screen- or production-used badges?

Looking good, Blad. Can hardly wait to see the finished pieces. :thumbsup

Am I imagining that the officers in black have silver badges, while the officers in brown leather have gold badges?

:eek

[phase pistol]

Wow, thanks for sharing that pic.

Very hard to correct that tho, very dark and color shifted... but here's what I could do.

 

[WinstonWolf359]

I know it probably belongs in the other thread, but notice it seems as if at least two of those three cops have blasters with amber, not black grips...

 

[phase pistol]

Hard to see what's going on in there... but the leftmost cop has definitely got an all-black buttplate on that thing...

Hats... 8 point with rain slicker cover over (some of) them.

 

[tain669]

I'd like to know if anyone knows about a guy who has a thread about casting a copy of the shield in alumimun.I'd like to know if he is planning on putting them up for sale on The Junkyard.I'd sign up for one.Thanks :cheers :thumbsup

 

[dropshipbob]

So are there any dimensions on the 995 badge so that one could make an accurate sized picture badge?
