Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[jollyrancher120]

I have been searching for all the items that fill the case in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
all the items are found items with the exception of the rum bottle label.
I have been searching for an original rum label.
I belive that the Label was created rather than have a brand Name showing.
The other bottle is a older version of Wild Turkey and not tequila as stated in the movie.
Thoutght I would ask if it had already been reproduecd before I attempted it my self.
Here are some screen shots from a camera. excuse the dead pixels.
I would also like to recreate the parking ticket.
The two shots of it show it at an angle.
Any advice on how to recreate a graphic that is skewed?
I know the image would need to be resized to make it correct.
This will be my first try at paper props so any help is appreciated.

Doing some research at rum.cz on old rum labels and I found a label that may be the basis for the rum label.

Here are a couple of telegrams I did a while ago, I just never got around to posting them.



Print at 100%, the PDF's include a second page that is just a coloured back.

PDF's attached.

Here's what I've got so far. Looks like they used a slightly different version of the logo than the one I was able to find, so I'll need to work with it a bit. I just kinda eyeballed a size of 4 by 4.5 inches. Still messing with the placement of the text too.

That is some good work. Where did you find the logo? I have only seen it on vintage matchboxes.

Thanks! I found it here: World Series of Poker: A Retrospective- Mint Gallery It's a bit small, so I've enlarged it and I'm working on redrawing it. I want to print one of these stubs and keep it in my wallet.

Oh, I also remembered that I had inverted the colors on the one I used, that accounts for most of the differences between the screen used one and my first attempt.

Oh hell! This stuff is fantastic, you guys rock. I love this movie. I'd love to read the books as some stage but I expect they are tough going although fun. I'd love to see someone do this case. Keep us posted Jollyrancher120.cheers

I have a basic setup for the case already probably should detail it in a prop forum but here is a picture of how it currently looks.I know that all the items in the case are not screen accurate. I am in the process of updating them. Here is the post for the case and futher details on items eclosed. http://www.therpf.com/f9/fear-loathing-drug-case-216136/#post3342173
