Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Updated Prop Room
Awesome set up, man! Giving me some ideas for my props display when I move (though it'll be on a much, much smaller scale!)
Which golden gun do you like better, the SD or the FE? That's the next replica I'm saving up to get.

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Updated Prop Room
Thank you very much ladies & gents
They both have their 'attractions', and I could never really say which one I prefer. I love them both :love
Nope. Never bothered to calculate it either. I see nice shiny things in the room, not money :lol
Thank you .... but my birthday was 11 months ago :lol
It's my thread's birthday that was a few days ago :lol
However, it's coming up again in a months time, so I'll take your birthday wishes in advance Thanks !

Thank you Aussie66 & peter74

Its Xmas eve and we're going to my sis's place this evening.
Its also Saturday, pressies are wrapped ..... and I'm bored senseless :lol ........ so get bored with me :lol
Of course, no sooner do I update the 'overall view' pics of the prop room, and here I am, 48 hrs later, making changes :behave
This is what I've done this morning :
For this wall, I modified the circled frames (Vigo & NT)
Since I have the Vigo as a painting, that frame was obsolete. So in line with the frame next to it, I changed it for the last of the GB Mag Covers I still had on file and not on display
As for the other ones, I took the 3 National Treasure frames, and put the pics into a larger frame.
A space was left over, so I also brought the Omni cover from the wall across the room.
Now I had an extra small 3 frames :lol
Couldn't just leave them running about, so I also shifted things around here :
(That's where the Omni Mag cover came from)
So, first, I replaced the Wonka Golden Ticket for a decent one, as the one I had was suffering from a severe case of jaundice :lol
I added other paper props I also still had on file and not on display, using the extra frames I ended up with :
Omni cover replaced with Wonka Chocolate Bar Wrappers, & 'Big' & 'COW' frames replaced with "Re-elect Goldie Wilson" and "Battle of the Bands" from BTTF :
On the other side of this wall, I made me a large collage from Titanic, using the Newspaper, Ticket, Telegram, First Class Menu, and Rose's Life photos, all of which I also had on file and not on display.
And finally, put The Jadzia & Worf Wedding photo in a smaller frame, and the other frames that were shifted from the right of the A/C, on this side like so:
I'm not bored any more :lol

Thanks Metal Man :thumbsup

Actually, I was still bored yesterday afternoon, so I got down to taking some pics and tinkering. I just didn't have the time to upload them because it was then time to go out. Way to make a day go by
First up are Matt Munson's RPF Lapel Pin and Challenge Coin. Such excellent quality :thumbsup
Aliens figure.
The details on this are impressive.
Funny story to go with this. I was expecting the postman to come around with a 2-foot package, as I had ordered the 18 inch figure.
When it came, I was furious, because it was this size.
So I rushed off ready to write to the seller & lambast him for this error etc .... when I looked closely at what I bought .... and it clearly said 18 cms, not inches :lol
Bang went my "What a friggin' good deal this is !!" right out the window :lol
He grew on me now
Finally, Lonnie's (TK570) Temple Snake medallion from "Conan the Barbarian" arrived a couple of days ago, and yesterday I had the time to make the clasps and cord for it.
I think that should be it for this year.
I wish you all Happy Holidays, and hope you have enjoyed this thread

Awesome. Do you mind saying (in some detail) how you braided the cord, especially the area around the brass fittings?Finally, Lonnie's (TK570) Temple Snake medallion from "Conan the Barbarian" arrived a couple of days ago, and yesterday I had the time to make the clasps and cord for it.
Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrivals - RPF, Aliens, Conan.
Many thanks guys
No worries :thumbsup (I wish I had taken some pics )
OK, here's a step by step. Please don't hesitate to ask for any clarification.
- Took the spring thingy from a clothes peg and cut off the 2 edges. This gives you 2 'L' shaped pieces of metal. Those are the clasps.
- Braided 3 strands of shoelaces. Started by tying a knot at the start, and braided.
- Once the braiding was done, I put some superglue at both ends, covering around 2cms length at each side.
- Once hardened, it becomes like stone, and although the braiding is 'preserved', it is a solid block.
- Cut the braiding at the outer ends of the superglue. So you end up with a braided cord having 2cms of stiff edges at each end and the braiding won't come undone. Ever :lol
- Perforated these hard edges with a hobby drill to make holes.
- Passed the clasps through the holes. Bent the 'L', to now make it into the 'U'.
- Burned the tips of the braid around the clasps to make them 'roundish'.
- Drilled 4 small holes into the medallion.
- Put a small drop of superglue in each hole.
- Put the clasp tips in.
- Painted the clasps with brass paint.
Voila :thumbsup
EDIT - Let me take a pic. BRB.
EDIT 2 - Back. Like so.
This is the tip of the 3 laces I braided, with the knot, and then cut at the edge of where the superglue started.
Also, the peg showing the 'L' I used.
And then .....
Many thanks guys

Great look for your medallion Alan and thanks so much for posting the info on how you did your's. I received mine from Lonnie a couple of days back after wanting once for around 20 years. Need to get mine done after the holidays.
Thanks for sharing.=)
