Thanks, Alan. I've got to say, I've actually missed you and the rest of the lunatics around here, too. I'm still into props & prop collecting, but (like I was telling one of the other RPF'ers through a PM the other day) my other hobby is playing keyboards, and I've kind of been on a 'music kick' as of late. (Unfortunately for me, my cut of our family's household 'discretionary income' is limited enough, so that I can only pursue one 'insanely expensive, totally unnecessary' interest at a time.) :lol

I've kind of drifted back towards movie-props now though, (at least for the time being, anyway ) and I've got a couple of new projects that I'm working on.

I still haven't been able to get my Home-Theater totally finished up yet, but we're hoping to make some major-advances on it in the spring.
Don't worry though, Alan...I won't ever be able to stay away for too long. The allure of prop-collecting is just too strong! To paraphrase Michael Corleone, in The Godfather III, "Every time I think I'm out...they puuuuull me back in!"

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - The Mummy Returns + Beverly Hills Cop

The Wonderworld dollars are aweome... I want some...

 

[Alan Castillo]

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - The Mummy Returns + Beverly Hills Cop

Thanks guys

Yes, "made" it myself from a pic I touched / fixed up from the net (I think it was a screencap), and just replicated it till an A4 sheet was full. Pics are also available in the FPP sub-forum here on the board :thumbsup

 

[Onkelpsycho]

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - The Mummy Returns + Beverly Hills Cop

I have the dollar somewhere, but it was low res, I printed it and it looked awful... So, you have another source?!?

 

[Alan Castillo]

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - The Mummy Returns + Beverly Hills Cop

There are plenty of other sources. I looked for the particular one I used, which is here (thought it was a screencap but its not, its just on the blue side)

http://basementrejects.com/review/beverly-hills-cop-iii-1994/

Just use perspective in photoshop to adjust it, and hit the light green of the pic with the white point under levels.

There are many others even better than that one of the original prop that I just found. Just google image search "Beverly Hills Cop Wonder Dollar", and "ebay Beverly Hills Cop Wonder Dollar"

... an example

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Movie-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

That one in particular is very high rez

HTH :thumbsup

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - Babylon 5 + BSG & Star Wars (Fillers)

First up, a couple of space fillers

From Star Wars, a small Y-Wing Model

Spot the Y-Wing ..... (no prizes :lol)

And from Battlestar Galactica, a small model of the Presidential ship, Colonial One. This I think is my favourite ship and sorry to see it was never produced in a bigger size (I think)

No prizes here either :lol

From my favourite Babylon 5 character Londo Mollari ...

... his original costume (not mine) with the scarab pins (right)

And a pair of replicas

Placed under the Triluminary replica

A nice compliment to the B5 area I think

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - Babylon 5 + BSG & Star Wars (Fillers)

Wow Alan, an absolutely INCREDIBLE collection you have! Truly amazing.

Cheers Gary

I hope you realised that I only got a pair of Scarab Pins, not the whole costume :ninja.

Could I afford that, I'd also have a warehouse for props only :lol
