Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

The gun reminds me of some of Howard's work. Although, Howard's had more style and elegance.

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

The Tesla Gun is pretty damn awesome, has one ever made a real one or bought a kit?

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

so yweah, those comms were way bigger than an altoids box, almost looked like old metal pencil boxes.

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

This show is a prop lover's dream. We get a guaranteed new prop every episode, possibly more. I really enjoyed the premier episode tonight. The show definitely has potential. The Tesla gun was my fave of the lot. I hope to see it appear in more episodes. And the vid-communicators were pretty awesome too.

The keyboard looks very vintage and shiny, I think it will be my first replica .

Need some old typewriters, a working keyboard and some time ... :confused

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

I have seen similar steampunk keyboards at the MAKE site or on wired.com.

Here is some more pics and some good prop background.

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

The show has tons of potential for props. the keyboard was built by a guy in the steampunk community called Datamancer. his work can be seen here:http://www.datamancer.net/blog/?p=27
I liked what looks like a modded out Wacom tablet in that photo. Lucricia's hair pin and jewelery box might make an interesting prop for the ladies.

Re: Warehouse 13 Gun? & Other props

Is this it? I thought I've seen it before.
