It captures information from the movies and the books, it is pretty detailed. Over the years it has probably tripled in size as I made one huge update to it before my last run.
One of my favorite pieces I created for sure because it has so much character built into it which I think is really hard to do with paper props.

I had a really nice one that was part of a press kit when Hannibal came out... kind of sorry I sold it, as I've never seen another since :unsure

I remember that someone on eBay posted their own replica of the Doctor Lector FBI Case File, which they made with a combination of information from the films (at the time "Red Dragon" had been released on DVD, which the user stated he drew a majority of the info from) and the books.
In fact, after seeing this prop file, I had considered on doing something similar with the Tooth Fairy/Francis Dollarhyde case file (utilizing the info in the small "case file" that comes with the 2-Disc Limited Edition DVD).

CB, yeah, that was me. There is a lot more in there than that though (if I made the Red Dragon comment it was because the movie came out and I added some of the information from it). News articles, two different ID sets, magazine covers, FBI posters, tons of FBI forms and information, xrays, letters, and much more. I dont think I could add much more to this file without creating a volume 2... ha ha The file covers all of the movies and some information in the books that were cool, but never made it onto the screen (I never included information on Lecter's 6th finger, I went with the arm fracture idea proposed from the Hannibal movie).
As for the press kit, I had it at one point, thought it would help with my own project... eh... in my opinion... but that is me.

That was yours? Seriously Walter, that was a rather impressive piece. And it was memorable too (I don't remember how long ago it was when I saw it, but it stuck with me after many years). And as I said, it made me think about doing the same, but with the Francis Dollarhyde (aka The Tooth Fairy, Red Dragon) and I had considered on having bits of missing, like how the Lector file in "Hannibal" was missing pieces (as mentioned by the other agent who gets the files on Lector for Clarice, "bit by bit over the years"). That's how memorable it was to me.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I can not believe you remembered it.
I think there is a lot you could do with the Tooth Fairy... part of me has wanted to do that scrapbook of his for a while too... might be a bit much though. I really love the Thomas Harris world, he created some great characters. Heck, you could do a lot with Starlings file as well.

Yeah, there is so much you can do with the genre. The options are limitless. I have done quite a bit on the topic, but there is a lot more that can be done. Heck you could do a whole thing on Mason Verger's activities...
As for the project stuff:
I try to run my projects pretty straight forward: I finish them, pack them and then let everyone know what the deal is when they are ready to send out. Essentially this project is done, just waiting for that one last piece.
I will post information in the junkyard on the details when they are ready to go.

You're very much welcome. And you're right about a file for Clarice Starling and the Tooth Fairy as well.
Thomas Harris definitely gives a lot of depth to the stories of the Lector novels that anyone can work with.

Took some pictures tonight. I created a desk set for Starling using my dining room table a few readily available items and a single strobe aimed towards the ceiling to give me just a touch of light.
