Fifth Element - Mangalore Missile

Hi all!

My last completed project.
Like the original, constructed of metal with plastic tip of a rocket from Estes Bull Pup 12D (EST 1972).

An original was sold by Profiles in History in the Hollywood Auction #30.

Nice work...

I have the rocket kit at home, in a drawer, waiting to be built. Yours is inspiration!

 

[LDR]

Nice job!

You have some cool behind the scenes photos by the way!

Looks like it just rolled out of Zorg's office to your display !

Well done Tee, love it :thumbsup

 

[HeroWorship]

Good one Tee!

 

[Amish Trooper]

Very nice Tee. Did you make the decals?

 

[Tee]

Thanks all!

Amish Trooper, I used a digital copy of the decals from the Estes Phoenix (TSE 1380).
I cleaned the file, cut out the interesting parts and printed on an adhesive transparent film.


For the "preview", nobody has an idea?

The bomb on the hotel door?

No.

 

[Amish Trooper]

I was thinking it's the door camera screen. The one he checks before the guy tries to mug him.

Simple yet complex, very well done!

Great job Tee, love it as a stand alone piece.

Is the new project something from inside the police cars?

Great question. I am curious to know this too.

I knew it! It's a found item!! That's like one of my favorite props in the movie. Like what Amish and zorg said...what is it? lol

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. It's a Citizen CK451 LCD TV. Hope you don't mind me posting this info, Tee. If you want me to take it down, just tell me and I'll do it.
