Found items around my house

[Wes R]

I found these around my house and figured i'd share them and the ideas i have for them.

First up is the new inhaler the pulminalogist gave me a sample off. Overpriced and tastes horrid. You can see it closed in one pic and opened in the other where the mouthpiece is exposed. There is a lever when opened you use to prime it and after you inhale you close it back up. I was thinking of tearing it down once its empty and making it into a grenade or a mine for costume. I have another one too. Maybe spring load it or put some kind of motorized timer in it.
Closed:

Open:

Next up are these round orbs that i got some anime figures in. This is what you get action figures in when you buy them from vending machines in japan (man they're lucky). I was thinking of using them to cast perfect orbs of resin, Pokeballs for pokemon fans, thermal detonator bases, grenade bases, mini death stars.

If anyone else has ideas feel free to suggest them.

You might check if the orbs are the same size as the spheres on a Dalek (Dr. Who).

 

[Wes R]

True. I could make castings of them and sell them lol. too bad i can't use them for anything on the life sized Fallout robobrain i want to make.

Those advair inhalers (or similar ones) were used for a few different props, including something from Andromeda:

Also, it was apparently used as a Chronicles of Riddick breather:

Its a neat shape. I just wish i had more than two but the copay is horrid on them compared to the 3.00 one on my current inhaler.

Is it thebase of the fallout 3 MC helmet display or can it be a large ammo magazine for a rifle?

 

[themanwoaname]

halo 3 helmet base. and possibly.

 

[BikerScout1599]

the round orb you could make into the killer ball from the Phantasim series

 

[Wes R]

halo 3 helmet base. and possibly.

I have to use those bases for something as i have 3 of them lol. Just struck me as looking like a large ammo clip that can also hold the gun up instead of a tripod.

 

[themanwoaname]

you might want to look into using the inhaler and that helmet base for settings for warhammer. ive seen a bunch of different things used as settings in that game.

 

[Wes R]

I've never tried warhammer, i passed up 3 book collections yesterday as i don't know much about it.

 

[themanwoaname]

me neither, but the stuff looks cool.

Here in Australia the Purple round inhaler is called Seretide and is a combination medication for Asthma (Reliever and Preventer(Steroid)) that's why it tasted horrible and you're meant to rinse your mouth afterwards too.

Anyhoo ...... Ideas
as I've got them too, though never thought to use it until reading here, why not where the mouth piece is, put a LCD or LED display for a count down and when you open it, it's exposed and the lever is the activation button. a simple sound recording keyring and timer inside and there you have it

oh and a neo magnet inside too to attach it to a metal post?
and spray it 2-tone silver

Ask your doctor for another sample! Thats what my mom does when she hits the donut hole on her insurance and they give them to her.
