My Prop Collection - New Addition(s): "Home-Theater finally finished!"

Re: My Prop Collection - New Addition(s): "Taxi Driver" (1976)

Wonderful collection

Thanks man.

Well, this isn't really too big of an update, but I just received a Jurassic Park hard-hat that I got from a seller on e-Bay. (They did a great job with it too. Spot on in my opinion.) thumbsup I highly recommend it to anybody who happens to be in the market for one. You won't be disappointed! (I figured that since I had my camera out anyway, I might as well throw in some other collection shots for good measure.)

Thanks guys. (Sorry that I haven't replied before now. I haven't really been doing too much 'prop-wise' for quite a while now, so there hasn't really been anything new to post about till now.) Ironically, I decided to get rid of the TAXI DRIVER props, and start working on turning the mannequins into 'Indiana Jones' and 'Darth Vader' instead. (The 'Darth' one in particular is a MAJOR 'work in progress', but I've at least got a basic 'feel' going on right now.) ;-)

Thanks, Gents! Like I was saying, the VADER really is going to need the most work. (He's pretty 'bare-bones' right now.) The INDY is pretty much done, except for the jacket. Right now the INDIANA JONES consists of:

-Mint Condition TEMPLE OF DOOM Vintage 'Stetson' Brand Fedora (From the Mid-'80's)
-Mint Condition 'Herbert Johnson' Brand Fedora as an 'alternate' (It's currently on display in my glass prop-cabinet at the moment.)
-Mint Condition 10 FT. 'David Morgan' Indy-Style Bullwhip (Made by David back in early 2007 before he stopped making them himself.)
-Mint Condition Vintage 1942 MK-VII "WW-II" Era British Gas-Mask Bag
-Shirt / Leather Bag-Strap / Brown Webbed Belt / Leather Gun-Belt, Holster & Replica Metal Gun (All 'Todd's Costumes Supply')
-Pants & Shoes ("Close enoughs")
-Leather Jacket ("Close enough"...but not for too long.)

I'm happy with everything on INDY except for the jacket. I'd love to get a real 'Wested', but I think for the price, I might be actually leaning towards a 'Todd's Costumes' RAIDERS-version once they come back in-stock. I am super pleased with the rest of the items that I got from him! Really quality stuff! :thumbsup Do any of you guys have a 'Todd's' RAIDERS jacket that you could give me your opinion on?

Here's some slightly better pictures of 'INDY'...



NOTE: The pants in the '4th' picture are much more accurate looking, as far as the 'color' goes. (All of the other photos tend to make them look 'greener' for some reason.)

Re: My Prop Collection - New Addition(s): Life-Size 'INDY' and 'DARTH VADER' Project

I would love to get my hands on a Raiders Wested also, but todd's offering is very tempting for it's price and apparent quality.I don't think you could go too wrong with todd's jacket.

Okay, BIG update! (Well, for me anyway.) After years and years of waiting, we finally were able to put the finishing touches on our Home-Theater! (And it's been a long time comin' too...believe you, me!)
I'd originally wanted to go with a screen and projector, but finally just decided on a 70" Flat-Screen TV instead. So far we've been able to watch 2 movies in it, and it's everything I could've hoped for and MORE! (Thank-you Shelly. You spoil me.)
The pictures don't really do the room justice, because it has no windows at all and the ceiling is black, so I had to use a flash just to get anything to even show up on camera. Here are some of the shots I just took.

Thanks a lot, guys. It really is a fun room to just dim the lights, kick-back and watch a movie in. We're all having a total blast in it so far. Here's a couple of close-up photos of my prop cabinet in it's current state. (It sure has gone through a lot of changes over the years.)

Beautiful,Adam !! So when do we get invited over ?? (I don't have as far to travel as Alan !! LOL!!)

Any of you guys are welcome at any time, Gary!
(And my popcorn-making skills are getting better with each passing moment!) :cool

Thank-you, Sir. I know just what you're talking about.
