My newest Iron Man prop

[Funky]

Thanks to Jedifyfe, this sucker turned me on to an inexpensive prop relating to Ironman that goes perfect with the rest of my collection.

Dummy phone from eBay = $25.00
Cleand up screen caps = $0.00
Print out from Kinko's = $0.63
Awesome Ironman prop = priceless

(I realize this image looks photo shopped but I assure you, my girlfriend just took a really good picture )

Man, this turned out great. I really need to add one of these to my growing IM collection :thumbsup

Looks Great! Just goes to prove that to be a cool prop it does not always need to break the bank:thumbsup

Heh, neat and cost effective! The perfect prop for the perfect economic period.

What's really cool about the dummy phone is it has the same weight as the real deal and the screen flips up exactly like the operating model.

Nice... and accurate... right down to Obie's uh naked form (hey, whatever floats your boat!) :lol

Good job! :thumbsup

Did u put the image under the clear display? I'm looking to do this as well.

If you decide to to this, here's what you need to do:

1. Flip open the screen and remove the 4 little rubber screw covers from the back of the screen.
2. Remove the 4 screws that hold the screen on.
3. Once that's done the screen will still be held firmly in place. You will need to CAREFULLY pry off the screen around the edges using your thumbnail.
3. Your printed pic (once sized properly) will fit on the inside of your screen. The frame will hold it in place. No gluing neccessary. Leave the existing graphic in the phone as it will give your new picture "support".
4. Snap back in place and replace screws.

If you have your pic ready and your dummy phone in hand it only takes about 10 minutes.

That's great. What did the people Kinkos think when you wanted a half naked picture of The Dude printed?

It wasn't a surprise at all! Over the last couple of years we have gone to the same location and dealt with the same rep so she's used to seeing all kinds of bizzarre paper props from us. She was actually a little dissapointed that this time around this was all we wanted! :lol

Ok, what is the model number etc to buy a demo model?

What did you put into search engine to find one? (to go right to it)

Have an extra? (sell me yours? hehehehe...)

Let me know.
Great JoB

The cell model is a Verizon LG VX-9400.

 

[houdiniguy]

what word did you use in search? demo? non working? or ??

 

[Jedifyfe]

Nice work FJ! That pic really does look photoshopped! Amazing how nice the pic turned out.

Tom, search "dummy LG" or "display LG" on ebay.

Very nice indeed!

 

[Funky]

I just did a search and it appears us prop guys wiped them out! :lol
However, it looks like you can still buy a damaged one pretty cheap.

 

[bladefans]

Did u use photo paper or regular paper?

And would you mind sharing your screencap with us fine folks?

 

[Funky]

Sure! Send me your e-mail and I'll send you the graphic. It's really big but once reduced it looks fantastic (Kinko's will size it for you if you bring it in on a flash drive). I think the paper she used to print it on was "superbright".
