Looney tune Prop thread/ Coyote Blueprints added 9/25

I wanted to show so of my works in progress . I'm bad about not showing anything until I'm finished or just not all , but I want to get better.
The back story on this is m, I am a huge animation fan overall. Have collected Cels/model sheets for years along with my autographing. A few months ago i started going through all the Looney Tunes and doing captures of everything I want to make from them. There is a ton to do.
Somehow i am more drawn ( no pun intended) to animation props and making them real. Since we moved last year I lost my studio space and had to go back into the computer and do more none traditional work instead of sculpting and painting.
These props , along with my cards , Superfriends, and NCIS items are all in process...about 100 projects at once it seems. I can't work on one thing.
These are all my printing proofs/mockups I am correcting or playing with. all of them will be offered here and/or evilbay to fund my larger toon projects. Most of these are from Wile E. Coyote toons that have about 40 items I am working on . Acme packaging , his blueprints and of course his business card. Here's some explanation on the images.

1. Iron Carrot - classic Wile E. prop..got the box almost completed then I'm sculpting the carrot to cast.
2. Small mock-ups for folding on some of his ACME packages. They will all be sized either cereal box or smaller depending on item.
3. One of Wile E. Coyote's business cards . This was about three fonts merged together with some shade work.
4. He had several blueprints. these will be 36 by 24" when finished printing . I want to do them with traditional blueprinting , but waiting to see where to get it done.
5. The " Seasons" posters will be 18 by 24" and feature what you see. Still tweeking and playing with them.
6. Roadrunner diagram. From one of my favorite shorts. Wile E. Explains the makeup of the roadrunner . This was captured and redrawn with text added. will be 18 by 24 " when printed.

last image is the letter/envelope from a Marvin episode. It will be printed on arches/heavy paper with was seal on the exterior as in the cartoon. The signature was drawn and redrawn to get it as close as possible.
Animation props are very inconsistent with fonts and sizing so it's challenging to get the right feel for the prop. ( like the " 9" is not correct enough for me yet)

much more to come....stay tooned.

Fantastic stuff! The Iron Carrot box is especially impressive! When you cast the actual carrot, are you going to make it hinged like the original (if my memory serves)?

Man I'd totally wallpaper my home office with that stuff if my girlfriend let me.

Nice! I am a Toon from the get go and love this collection!

How about another hunting sign that says "Wabbit Season"

I don't think it was hinged , but I could be wrong .bugs had a gun too. there was several various ones.

Here's a few others:

1. Dynamite Bugs - have looked at PVC but may be too heavy.

2. Duck Dodges star map. This is the first run. I have changed a few things since. I want to print it LARGE but having trouble finding a printer.

3. bugs gun

4 bugs gun detail

5. Small missile for Wile E.

Don't forget earthquake pills...or the flying bat costume!

Or a giant slingshot! Boomerang with glue.... oh man.

yeah you mean this one : I even thought about doing a faux trading card with a piece of fabric from his suit...lol
 
Re: Wile E. Coyote--Super Genius props ( several pics)

Yup that's the one!!

Snow making machine!! Oh man there are so many!
 
Re: Wile E. Coyote--Super Genius props ( several pics)

Or better yet..make an Acme catalog with all sorts of the items purchased or seen over the cartoons!
 
Re: Wile E. Coyote--Super Genius props ( several pics)

All Classics!

Looking forward on seeing your progress with these and more!
 
Re: Wile E. Coyote--Super Genius props ( several pics)

There used to be an online ACME catalog someone'd compiled, but it seems to have gone the way of the dodo. There's another one that can be found through the Wayback Machine.

With the advance of DVD technology all the images are better . If they are ever available in Blue-RAY it would be something too.

The catalog idea has crossed my mind. I would have to do all the cartoons from a-z with reference to the episode and images. Like there's an Acme Aspirin container too that is very simple but finding a close tin is harder.
 
Re: Wile E. Coyote--Super Genius props ( several pics)

I'd pay for a catapult blueprint, a roadrunner prime cuts and chops diagram, and a Duck Dodgers star map in poster sizes!
