Getting BR Blaster signed???

[faust1103]

Hi,

Rutger Hauer is coming to a convention which I plan to attend.

Do you guys think it a good idea to get a Tomen blaster signed by him so it would look something like this?

I would print a nice card for him to sign instead and then show it together with the blaster.

There are a few older threads with discussions about getting props signed. I have seen mostly dissuasive comments.

I agree, but it's up to you. I'm not a fan at all of signed props. I'd rather have a signature on a plaque to put with it.

My personal rule of thumb is if the cost/value of the autograph is greater than the value of the prop then its okay. Otherwise just make a custom plaque to get signed and display it along the prop. For example, Harrison Ford's autograph runs around $500-$800 so having him sign a $1,300 Blade Runner blaster wouldn't be worth it for me. A $200-$300 blaster might be a better prop to get signed by Ford. Just my own personal preference on this matter.

A baseball looks good signed. A prop looks distracting when it's signed.

I vote get a photo signed. The Prop will look distracting and take away from the beauty of it.

Have the blaster display stand signed

I think you guys are right. It's probably best to get a stand or plaque signed instead of the blaster itself.

But where can I get a good blaster plaque (within less than 3 weeks)?

Cut a piece of plexiglass-glass to the size you like, then paint one side white or black depending on the colour ink you wish to use for the signature. Have him sign the unpainted side using a permanent pen like a Sharpie. Then you can worry about how to display it.

Take this one step further.

Go here:

Step 1. Cut out a piece of plexi.

Step 2. Buy the inkjet water slide paper.

Step 3. Print out a bladerunner photo that has a nice layout and a nice section to sign.

Step 4. Make sure to spray it with a clear coat once printed and then allow to dry thoroughly. This prevents the image from running in the water.

Step 5. Cut out the decal, dip I water and a slide on reverse side of the plexi so you see it as you look through the plexi.

Step 6. Once dried, paint over the back of the decal in white.... this will not only protected the decal but it will also make the image opaque.

Now you have a reverse painted look to your plexi and you can get the front of the plexi signed.
