I'd like to keep it as close as possible and leave the gilette logo on there.

So do you think that the prop deparment did not erase the raised "Gillette" brand? I mean, It can be easily erasable later, don't want to do two molds :coolI'd like to keep it as close as possible and leave the gilette logo on there.

If you get a line on the little greeblies, like the lugs and screws, let me know. I am putting one together and may make another for a friend. Give him his first taste of the prop sickne...err...habit.

I hate to open two questions at the same time, but, does anyone know what is this? I think that watching at it from different angles would help. What do you think? Found part or custom made?

Yeah, I'm planning on making one of these soon too. Perhaps we could do a group buy on the greeblies as most of them are sold at a far higher volume than we need?

I have a screwdriver bit that would fit those screws, so I'm thinking that those screws would be a found item......interesting.

Sorry I did not clarify, I was talking about the piece held by those two tri-wings security screws :lol

I'm gonna say it looks like a terminal of some kind. It almost looks like a mini car battery terminal.

It seems to me that It is some kind of bearing holder or something like that. Here are some examples:
They could be made of metal or nylon. Just a thought.

By the way, my brother in law kept his word and got me two pins. Not the screen used ones, but some close to them. Another model. Check them out:

As I told you guys, he is mechanical, he is not doing any electric repair. So he got them from that department and requested to some coworkers to find the right ones. Just to be sure, the screen used ones have wide red, orange and green right? cause this is the way they will identify it.
I never saw of them in person, they are quite small, and even if they are not the screen used ones, will be great for a custom made one :love

It looks like it supports or travels down a rod of some sort. With the screws being used to fix it to another surface. It might be better to sculpt this part. Like the some of the parts on the back. Even the lugs wolfverine posted are slightly off in size.

It's also possible that it was modified by the prop department before it was attached to the prop; this may be only a remnant of a larger part.

I agree, It looks like some kind of support or holder. Not sure about some modified found part. But looks like a found part to me. :confused

This is so far what I did last weekend. Have to do fill some gaps yet. Primmer paint let a grain surface like. It seems to me that the prop have that texture, could be wrong. What do you think about the finish? Polished or textured?

textured to give it a used look.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It will look like something made of metal, not plastic. You can see it clearly here:
